Banana cake with chocolate ganache frosting
Ingredients:
For the cake:
1 cup mashed over ripe bananas
1/2 cup vegetable oil, I used coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup milk
1 cup warm water
2 cups light brown sugar
1 and 3/4 cups cake flour
1 and 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
For the ganache:
8 ounces bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, cut into pieces
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp butter
Procedure:
Preheat oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two 8-inch baking pans with baking paper.
In a bowl, combine the sugar, cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well making sure all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine all 3 eggs together, lightly whisk. Add in the mashed bananas, vegetable oil, vanilla, milk and warm water. Mix in the dry ingredients mixture and stir just until combined. Pour mixture into your prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean or with just a few crumbs left. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the ganache. Heat the cream and butter just until the mixture starts to boil. Immediately pour over the chocolate and stir until all chocolate pieces are completely melted. Let it cool slightly and stack and cover your banana cake.
