In deze Vegan chocolade-bananentaart is an easy, moist, fudgy chocolate cake with a delicious banana flavors and a rijke chocolade ganache. If you are after a delicious banana cake that can use all your over-ripe bananas, this is the chocolate cake you need.
This vegan chocolate banana cake is inspired by my chocolate peanut butter banana bread. That bread is enorm populair, and since I had many ripe bananas I needed to use and a birthday coming up, this cake was perfect for it. It’s a baked alternative to my super easy Chocoladecake zonder bakken, gemaakt met slechts twee ingrediënten (which I highly recommend trying).
Cakes are my passion, and making healthy versions of classic cakes has been my mission for more than 10 years so that everyone can enjoy Earth-conscious recipes for special occasions.

Ingrediënten en vervangingen
All you need to start baking this chocolate banana cake recipe are:
- Rijpe banaan – With black spots on the skin.

- Bakpoeder en Bakpoeder to rise the bread.
- Avocado-olie – Or any neutral oil like canola oil, melted coconut oil, or light olive oil.
- Kokos suiker – You can also use unrefined cane sugar or soft brown sugar. Any crystal sweetener you have at home will work well.

- Amandelmelk or any plant-based milk of choice.
- Ongezoet cacaopoeder – for a perfect chocolate taste.

- Donkere chocoladeschilfers – or normal vegan chocolate chips.
How To Make Vegan Chocolate Banana Cake
This chocolate cake is the most easy banana cake ever, made with just a few simple ingredients and takes onder 10 minuten to whip up.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper at the bottom. Use cooking oil spray to grease the sides and bottom of the pan. Set it aside.
First, peel and mash the banana into a puree. It’s fine if there are still bits and pieces of banana showing. You can use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, a fork, and mash on a chopping board, or blend the bananas in a food processor.
What matters is to measure the amount required by the recipe by packing the mashed banana in a measuring cup. Set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk to combine (foto 1).
- Set it aside when it’s well combined (foto 2).
- In another bowl, stir the mashed banana, oil, almond milk, vanilla extract, and coconut sugar (foto 3).
- Finally, stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk in dark chocolate chips halfway (foto 4).
- Whisk until the batter is consistent and smooth but don’t overwork the batter to keep the cake crumb light and not packed or dense (foto 5).
- Transfer the cake batter to the prepared cake pan (foto 6).
- Bake in the center rack of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes at 350°F (180°C) or until the top is set and dry and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake is coming out clean. If the top of the cake turns brown too fast, foil the top of the pan and keep baking.
- Let it cool down for 10 minutes in the cake pan, then release it on a cooling rack and fully cool down at room temperature.
Taart decoratie
To decorate the cake, make sure you wait until the chocolate cake has cooled completely to room temperature or the vegan chocolate ganache is going to melt in the cake.
- To make the ganache, add vegan dark chocolate chips, and vegan cream in a non-stick saucepan (foto 7).
- Bring to low eat, stir, and cook until the chocolate chips are melted and the texture is creamy, and shiny and glossy (foto 8).
- Pour the ganache over the vegan chocolate banana cake and spread it all over. The cake ganache will stay soft, and lightly firm up after 24 hours in the fridge
Opslag instructies
Store the cake in an airtight cake box in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze the vegan chocolate cake whole, or in slices, for up to one month. Thaw the day before in the fridge.

Hallo,
Your recipe lists 1 1/2 cups of banana but the instructions say “Measure 1 cup + 1/4 cup of mashed bananas”.. Can you please confirm whether it’s one and a half or one and a quarter cups of banana??
Dank je.
Thanks for spotting my mistake, you need 1 1/2 cup of mashed banana as per written in the ingredient listed. I updated the recipe instruction to make sure it’s correct. Sorry about that.
