Chocolate Mole Cake
A delectable chocolate crumble concealing a lusciously creamy interior with bananas.
Equipment
- Springform cake pan
Ingredients
- 1 2/3 sticks butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 3 bananas
- 1 2/3 cups cream
- 1/3 cup chocolate shavings
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix together the butter, sugar, eggs, baking powder, flour, and cocoa powder in a large bowl until the batter is smooth. Pour it into a springform cake pan and bake it at 350°F for one hour.
- As soon as this layer is baked and has completely cooled off, spoon out a hole in the middle, setting that bit of cake carefully aside. Place the bananas side by side in the empty space in the center of the cake layer.
- Whip the cream until it's stiff and fold in the chocolate shavings and vanilla extract. Then spoon it onto the bananas.
- Crumble up the part of the cake you spooned out and sprinkle the crumbs over the top.
