Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Devil’s Food or Dark Chocolate Cake Mix
- 3 large overripe bananas, mashed (about 1.5 cups)
- 2 large eggs (Room temperature preferred)
- Optional: 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for extra indulgence
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or a light coating of butter. In a medium bowl, peel the overripe bananas and mash them thoroughly with a fork or a potato masher until they reach a smooth, liquid-like consistency with very few lumps.
- In a large mixing bowl, “dump” in the dry chocolate cake mix. Add the mashed bananas and the two eggs. Using a sturdy spatula or a hand mixer on medium speed, blend the ingredients together for about two minutes. The batter will be thick and glossy. If you are using chocolate chips, fold them in gently at this stage. Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and spread it evenly to the corners.
- Place the pan on the center rack of the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the structure to set, ensuring a perfect bakery-style slice. Serve warm as is, or top with a dollop of whipped cream.
