How to Make 4-Ingredient Chocolate Banana Blender Cake

PIN IT

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Blend Everything

Add to blender:

• Bananas
• Cocoa powder
• Eggs
• Baking powder

Blend until completely smooth and silky.

Scrape down sides if needed.

The batter should look glossy and thick.

Step 3: Pour & Smooth

Pour batter into prepared pan.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

Optional: Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 20–25 minutes.

The center should be just set but still moist.

A toothpick should come out with a few soft crumbs — not wet batter.

Step 5: Cool & Slice

Let cool completely.

This is important — it firms up as it cools.

Slice into 9 squares.

The texture becomes beautifully fudgy once chilled.

• Store chilled for best texture.

Storage Instructions

Up to 1 day covered.

Up to 5 days — texture improves after chilling.
