- Fruity twist. Top the cake with fresh berries or mix in some dried fruit for a burst of flavor and color.
Tools You’ll Need
- Double boiler or two pots. For melting the chocolate gently and evenly, a double boiler is essential. If you don’t have one, you can easily improvise with a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.
- Mashing tool. A fork or potato masher will do the job nicely to mash your bananas into a smooth puree.
- Cake mold with removable bottom. Depending on how thick you’d like your cake, use a 6-8 inch cake mold for a taller cake or a larger one if you prefer it thinner.
