Chocolate Banana Cake with Chocolate Ganache


🍫 Make the Ganache

  1. Heat cream until it just starts to simmer (don’t boil).
  2. Pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes.
  3. Add butter (if using) and stir until smooth and glossy.
  4. Let cool slightly, then pour over the cooled cake. Use a spatula to spread evenly. Let set.

✨ Tips & Serving Ideas

  • Serve as-is or top with sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or chocolate curls.
  • Make it in a loaf pan and slice like banana bread (but way more decadent).
  • Stays moist for 3–4 days if covered and stored at room temp.

💬 Final Bite

This cake is pure gold for banana lovers and chocoholics alike. The bananas make it extra moist, while the ganache gives it that dreamy, bakery-style finish. It’s the kind of cake you can whip up fast — but feels fancy enough to serve at any special occasion. 🎉
