Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Cake Preparation Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
Topping and Filling Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 ounces / 396 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
Optional Garnish:
- Chocolate syrup
- Additional banana slices
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and coating a 9×13 inch pan with grease and flour.
- Create the cake base by mixing chocolate cake mix according to package directions, gently incorporating mashed bananas and chocolate chips into the batter.
- Transfer the mixed batter into the prepared pan, ensuring even distribution, and bake following the package’s recommended time and temperature guidelines.
- After removing from the oven, allow the cake to cool for approximately 10 minutes, then methodically create multiple holes across the entire surface using a wooden spoon handle.
- Evenly distribute sweetened condensed milk over the perforated cake, enabling the liquid to thoroughly penetrate the created openings.
- Whip heavy cream until it forms sturdy, structured peaks, then carefully spread the airy cream across the cake’s surface.
- Enhance the presentation by drizzling rich chocolate syrup and optionally arranging fresh banana slices as a decorative garnish.
- Refrigerate the completed dessert for a minimum of 60 minutes, allowing the flavors to harmonize and the texture to set perfectly before serving.
Notes
- Customize cake mix by using overripe bananas for deeper, richer banana flavor and natural sweetness.
- Prevent chocolate chips from sinking by lightly coating them in flour before adding to batter, ensuring even distribution.
- For gluten-free version, swap standard cake mix with gluten-free alternative and check all ingredient labels carefully.
- Reduce sugar content by using unsweetened condensed milk and adding ripe bananas for natural sweetness boost.
