Banana Chocolate Cake

Preparation time: 30-45 minutes (less than 1 hour)
Serves: 8 people


This cake does not use butter, margarine or oil. It is suitable for fast baking and for people who have undergone cholecystectomy (surgical removal of entire gallbladder). The cake consistency will depend on what kind of bananas are used and how soft or watery they are (water content). Use very soft leftover bananas that nobody wants to eat. The soft bananas give the chewiness of this chocolate cake.
