"Chocolate is always good, especially when it rhymes with coffee. In this cake, I added a touch of banana and coconut to complete the lyric… I like my cake somehow thin, maybe because of the patterned cake pan you might have seen in the picture. If you prefer thicker cakes, simply bake the cake in a smaller pan or double the recipe."

  • Step 3/8

    • 18¾ g banana/banana peel
    • small bowl

    Finely separate the inner side of banana peel with a teaspoon. It is possible to use the same amount of a ripen banana instead of peel. In that case, just mash it with a fork. Mix it together with the shredded coconut in a small bowl.

  • Step 4/8

    In a large bowl, mix the ground flax seed with water. Let stand for 5-10 min. Add the coconut-banana mixture, sugar, date molasses, oil, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract and coffee liqueur to the flax mixture and whisk well to combine.

  • Step 7/8

    Reduce the oven temperature to 175 C and continue baking for about 10-15 more min. As usual, a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Briefly cool the cake into the pan, then remove and cool completely onto a rack.
