No-Oven Chocolate Banana Cake (Easy Pan Cake Recipe)

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Add the ripe bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash them thoroughly until mostly smooth.
2. Add the eggs, chocolate spread, milk, and vegetable oil to the mashed bananas. Mix until the ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and vanilla. Mix just until a smooth chocolate batter forms and no dry flour remains.
4. Lightly grease a suitable non-stick pan if needed, then pour in the batter and spread it into an even layer.
5. Cover the pan with a lid and cook over very low heat for about 30–35 minutes. Keep the lid closed as much as possible so the trapped heat helps the cake cook through evenly.
6. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs, remove the pan from the heat and let the cake rest for 5–10 minutes.
7. Heat 1 cup of milk in a small saucepan. Add the dark chocolate and cocoa powder, then stir gently until the chocolate has melted and the sauce becomes smooth and glossy.
8. Pour the warm chocolate sauce evenly over the cake, allowing it to spread across the surface.
9. Scatter chocolate chips and crushed pistachios over the top while the sauce is still warm.
10. Slice the cake once it has rested slightly. Serve as it is or add a scoop of ice cream and extra pistachios for a more indulgent dessert.
