Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 0.75 cup coconut sugar (or granulated sugar)
• 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the coconut sugar, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, the cake can be served as is, or topped with your favorite dairy-free frosting or glaze.
