Indulgent banana chocolate cake with creamy peanut butter frosting.
Ingredients:
  • cooking spray
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
  • 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large bananas, mashed
  • 0.75 cup buttermilk
  • 0.5 cup egg whites
  • 0.33333334326744 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 egg
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (such as Philadelphia®)
  • 0.25 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 0.25 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 banana, sliced
Instructions:
  • - Preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), then generously coat two 8-inch baking pans with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, white sugar, whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Combine mashed bananas, buttermilk, egg whites, applesauce, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a separate bowl. Gradually incorporate this mixture into the flour, stirring until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the cake pans that have been prepared.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until creamy using an electric mixer.
  • Use a rubber spatula to loosen the edges of the cooled cakes. Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray. Flip the cake pans over onto the baking sheet and gently tap the bottoms to release the cakes.
  • Smooth the frosting generously over the cake layers, stacking them on top of each other and covering the top and sides with a thick layer of frosting. Cut the cake into 8 slices and decorate with banana slices for a beautiful finishing touch.
