Fudgy Chocolate Banana Cake

Last Updated on April 30, 2025

Repeat after me: Fudgy Chocolate Banana Cake.  If that doesn’t have you running to the kitchen, I don’t know what will.  My friend Kari from GI 365 has been kind enough to share this amazing recipe with you today.  Please take a minute to pop over to her blog to see what other recipes she has created. “

Fudgy is one of my favorite words. By definition it implies chocolate, and where would we be without chocolate! This Fudgy Chocolate Banana Cake couldn’t be any easier: simply place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender, and it whirls up your cake batter in seconds.  I  love having easy dessert recipes up my sleeve for chocolate related emergencies!

This cake can be a simple, snacking kind of cake, but you can also dress it up with coconut whipped cream or fudge frosting for ultimate decadence. With bananas being the base, it’s really low in added sweeteners, and I kept it dairy free by using coconut oil. Even though it’s on the healthier side, it definitely doesn’t lose any richness or dessert like qualities!!

Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. You’ll need to scrape down the sides a couple of times to make sure the cocoa powder is incorporated. You can also use a blender for this recipe, you’ll need to use the tamper to keep the mixture moving because the consistency is pretty thick for a blender. After you pour the cake batter into a prepared pan, smooth the surface with a spatula. After it’s baked, the flavor is best if it sits for a few hours, and it’s even better the next day!!

A big thank you to Kelly for letting me guest post on her wonderful site today! I hope you enjoy the recipe!!
