miracle skinny chocolate cake

A little background. My goal on this blog when I create healthier recipes is to make ones that essentially don’t lose their food soul. You know those “healthy” recipes that taste like cardboard? Ones that are maybe slightly reminiscent of their un-healthified counterparts if your tastebuds try their hardest? I tried to convince myself in the past that they were “good”, but I’ve come to a point where if it isn’t outright delicious, I’d rather eat the real thing as a treat.

And then came along this recipe. I had some ripe bananas sitting on the counter and wanted to try something a little different than you run-of-the-mill banana bread. A quick check in the cupboards and I found that I had all the necessary ingredients to throw together some sort of a chocolate cake. I didn’t have the highest expectations, but then I tasted the batter and knew I was on to something. After a quick bake in the oven, and I was greeted by a fluffy, perfect chocolate cake that almost looked too good to be a healthier recipe.
