This easy flourless chocolate banana cake is soft, moist, and full of chocolate and banana flavor. It's made with ripe bananas, eggs, cocoa powder, arrowroot starch, and just a little honey.
There is no wheat flour and no butter or oil. I especially like the banana on top. It makes this simple chocolate banana loaf look beautiful with almost no extra work.
This recipe is also a great way to use up very ripe bananas when you want something sweet but made with just a few simple ingredients.







Bananas: Use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots. They are sweeter and give this flourless banana cake better banana flavor. Since bananas can vary in size, each banana should give you about 130 grams after mashing.
Egg Whites: Don't beat the egg whites until they are very stiff or dry. Medium peaks are perfect for this recipe and are much easier to fold into the chocolate batter.
Folding: Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter gently. The air in the egg whites helps give this flourless chocolate banana cake a lighter texture.
Banana Topping: Use a ripe but still fairly firm banana for the top. A very soft banana can become too wet during baking. Place the banana cut side up and don't push it deeply into the batter.
Baking Time: Oven temperatures and baking dishes can vary. Start checking the loaf at about 35 minutes. Avoid overbaking, since this can make a flourless chocolate banana loaf dry.
Cooling: Let the loaf cool before slicing. The inside continues to set as it cools, especially when using arrowroot starch.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
