Who doesn’t like chocolate. And when this incredible flavour is infused with banana it becomes a divine combination. It doesn’t just end here..what if this combination is guilt free and vegan? Here’s new newest recipe of Chocolate Banana Cake which is eggless, butterless and also dairy free. I have used Flax seeds to make it rise and become fluffy. I had done another Eggless Whole Wheat Banana Bread with Melon Seeds earlier. But this recipe takes this bread to a new level of craziness.
The most enticing part of this bread was its texture. It was soft and gooey and almost melted in my mouth in its very first bite. The ripe unforgotten bananas were put to right use. My little one who is a picky eater devoured this greedily and barely allowed me to take photographs 🙂
Directions:
1. Soak Flax seed Powder in water and set aside (Learn here how to make Flax seed powder). The mixture should become like a gel in some time.
2. Grease a baking pan and set aside. I am using a medium size bundt pan for this. Preheat the oven on 180 degree Celcius for 10 minutes.
3. In another bowl sift All Purpose Flour, Baking Powder and Baking Soda. Do you see the lumps in the baking powder? That is why we are sifting everything for a lump free airy flour.
4. This is how it looks after sieving.
5. Also sieve and add cocoa powder to the flour and gently combine. Set aside.
6. Mash overripe bananas with a fork and place in a mixing bowl. Add vegetable oil and combine.
7. Add the flax powder gel to the bananas.
8. Add brown sugar or jaggery powder and vanilla extract. Give everything a good mix.
9. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix with the spatula. Do not over mix simple moisten the flour.
10. Pour this in the greased pan and bake on a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes on 180 degree celcius (Learn more about Oven temperatures and Conversions). The test of doneness is that the toothpick inserted will come out clean.
11. Let the cake cool down a little before taking it out of the pan. Invert the pan on a serving plate and gently tap to remove the cake. Slice and serve with your favourite cup of coffee or tea.

I am so glad Sudha that it worked for you and you liked it 🙂 Thanks for the feedback.
Thankyou Manju. I would like you to bake this cake on convection mode in your Microwave.
Dear Anshu can I use powder of non roasted flax seeds.
Thankyou Lily. I am glad you tried and it came out well for you :*
Arunima ensure you grind the seeds freshly, whether u like to roast them or not. Never buy pre-ground flax seeds. Flax seeds contain oils that are extremely perishable. When the flax seed is ground, the oil is exposed to oxygen and begins to oxidize almost immediately. This oxidization turns the oils rancid which makes them toxic and causes them to impart a linseed oil aroma and flavor to your food. Linseed oil is in fact oxidized flax oil. Always buy flax seeds whole, grind them yourself with a coffee grinder if you’re using them ground and store them in an airtight container in your freezer where they will keep for about a year.
I am thanking you again today. Every time I bake this flawless, quick and easy eggless bake, I thank you. It is such a big hit in my circle. I generally use brownsugar and today tried it with jaggery and it feels like heaven
