Banana and Chocolate Cake

To prepare the banana and chocolate cake, you will need to use two mashed bananas inside and one as decoration. Peel two of the bananas 1 and mash them with a potato masher or a fork 2 until you obtain a batter 3. 

Pour the whole eggs into a large bowl 4, add the sugar 5, and start mixing the ingredients with an electric whisk until the mixture is light, fluffy, and frothy 6. 

After achieving the right consistency 7, add the previously mashed banana pulp and mix it into the batter 8. Then add the previously sifted flour 9. 

After stirring 10, add the zest of one lemon 11 and mix again 12. 

Next, add a pinch of salt 13 and the vegetable oil 14, continuing to mix with the electric whisk 15. 

Add the previously sifted baking powder 16 and mix it into the batter 17. Then start cutting the dark chocolate into pieces, or if you prefer, use chocolate chips 18. 

When you have your chocolate pieces, add them to the batter, setting aside a couple of handfuls 19. Mix one last time 20 and pour the batter into a 9.5-inch diameter pan lined with parchment paper or buttered and floured 21. 

Peel the banana set aside 22 and cut it into three parts lengthwise 23, then arrange it on the surface of the cake 24. 

Finally, add some chocolate pieces 25 and bake the cake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 35 minutes 26. Always do the toothpick test before removing the cake from the oven, as cooking times may vary slightly depending on the oven. The banana and chocolate cake is ready, just let it cool 27 before removing it from the mold and serving.
