How to Make Vegan Banana Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips and 1/2 cup coconut oil. Stir until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until smooth. Add mashed bananas to the melted chocolate mixture.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) and 1/4 cup raisins (optional).
  8. Divide batter evenly between prepared cake pans or loaf pan.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes for cupcakes, 35-40 minutes for 9-inch round cakes, or 50-60 minutes for a 9x5 inch loaf.
  10. Insert a wooden skewer into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
