Did you know that...?
When bananas are very ripe, there is no need to throw them away: they can become the best ingredient for your recipes! You can freeze them whole with skin, or peeled and cut into chunks for convenience.
This way you will always have bananas ready to make this cake or use them in smoothies, breads and homemade ice cream. Freezing ripe fruit is also a great way to reduce food waste and enjoy the full flavour without losing quality.
Tips for enjoying your cake
Accompany it with cocoa or freshly brewed organic coffee to enhance the flavour of the chocolate.
Serve with plain or Greek yoghurt for a lighter and fresher option.
Garnish with caramelised banana slices or toasted almonds for a crunchy touch.
