Chocolate Banana Cake

Chocolate and bananas are one of the most classic matches made in heaven.

There is something so playful about the combination of chocolate and bananas, it reminds me of childhood and my favorite sweets.  This cake is creamy delight.

Raspberries on top of the cake are just a part of decoration, they have nothing to do with the flavor. They are from my garden, I saved some in the freezer for such purpose.

  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake-test with skewer, it needs to come out clean. It will take about 30 minutes. Let cool completely. When cool, cut into 3 equal parts.
  4. For the filling, puree bananas. Add rum and melted chocolate. Whip cream until stiff peaks form (if the cream is too soft, add 1 whipping cream stabilizer, it will make it firmer). Combine it with chocolate-banana batter.
  5. Assemble: put first sponge layer on serving plate, cover with 1/3 of the filling. Put second sponge layer on top of it, cover with another part of the filling. Put third layer, again the final part of the filling. Decorate with the rest of the filling.
  6. Note: you can combine some warm milk with rum and pour this over each sponge layer when assembling the cake, it will make it moister.
