Ingredients:
1.5 tsp instant coffee
6 cl of hot water
80 g sugar-free chocolate
100g oatmeal
3 bananas
115 g hazelnuts
Preparation
How to make Chocolate Coffee Banana Cake?
Begin by soaking the dates in a bowl of boiling water for about fifteen minutes. This will help soften them for easier blending.
While the dates are soaking, lightly toast the oat flakes in a fat-free non-stick pan. Once they’re toasted to a golden brown, transfer them to a bowl.
Toast 90 g of hazelnuts and add them to the oat flour. This will give your cake a delightful nutty flavor and crunch.
After the dates have softened, pit them and add them to the oat and hazelnut mixture.
Dissolve half a teaspoon of soluble coffee in 2 cl of hot water. This coffee infusion will infuse your cake with a rich coffee flavor.
Add the coffee mixture to the prepared oat, hazelnut, and date mixture.
Place a pastry frame on a cutting board and transfer the mixture into it. Use a spatula to evenly spread and level the mixture, then refrigerate for approximately twenty minutes to set.
While the cake is chilling, it’s time to work on the chocolate cream. Begin by chopping the sugar-free chocolate into small pieces and melting it using a bain-marie or a microwave.
Peel one banana, cut it into pieces, and place it in a blender. Add the remaining coffee and blend until you have a smooth banana-coffee mixture.
Coarsely chop the remaining hazelnuts and add them to the banana-coffee mixture. Stir with a spatula to combine.
Peel the remaining bananas and cut them lengthwise. Place them at the bottom of the pastry frame to create a banana base for your cake.
Now, add the banana and hazelnut mixture on top of the banana slices, creating a delicious layer of flavors and textures.
Finally, pour the melted chocolate cream over the banana and hazelnut layer, creating a rich and indulgent topping.
Refrigerate the entire cake for about 2 hours to allow it to set and firm up.
Once your Chocolate Coffee Banana Cake has set, it’s ready to be served. Cut into slices and savor the delightful combination of chocolate, coffee, banana, and hazelnut without the guilt of added sugar.
