This decadent dessert brings together three irresistible flavors—rich chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and sweet bananas—into a layered masterpiece that’s pure bliss in every bite. Perfect for special occasions or when you’re craving a treat that’s both indulgent and comforting!
For the Chocolate Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Banana Layer:
2 ripe bananas (sliced)
2 tbsp lemon juice (to prevent browning)
For the Chocolate Ganache:
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp unsalted butter
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth. Gradually add the boiling water, mixing until combined (the batter will be thin).
Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, beat together peanut butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate and butter. Stir until smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly to thicken.
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of peanut butter filling over the top. Arrange sliced bananas on top of the peanut butter layer, then drizzle with a little bit of lemon juice to prevent browning. Add the second cake layer and press gently.
Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Let the ganache set for a few minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy the perfect combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and banana bliss!
