This healthy chocolate cake is decadent, rich and super easy to make. It is just 3 ingredients and you probably already have most of the ingredients on hand! In just a few simple steps, you’ll create this healthy but delicious dessert. To top it off, I like to spread a dairy-free ganache over the top to make this cake truly irresistible.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup + 4 ½ tbsp (313 g) finely mashed very ripe bananas approximately 3 extra large bananas
1/2 cup (128 g) unsweetened natural peanut butter
1/3 cup (30 g) unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder
HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY CHOCOLATE CAKE
The bananas, peanut butter and cocoa are all blended together in a blender until a smooth batter forms. The batter is then poured into a 6-inch springform pan and baked for about 35 minutes or until done. While the cake can be enjoyed soon after it cools, I also recommend refrigerating the cake for a few hours. The flavors will be even more pronounced and the cake will taste sweeter. If desired, you can decorate the cake with chocolate ganache.
The ganache is completely optional and is mostly for presentation. I think the cake tastes fine without it, but if you prefer more chocolate flavor or want a little more sweetness, the ganache will help with that.
