Chocolate Banana Chiffon Cake Recipe
July 11, 2020This Chocolate Banana Chiffon Cake is a fluffy, chocolate banana dream. The chocolate chiffon cake is filled with chocolate banana cream - inspired by Cooking Tree 쿠킹트리.
I loved how this cake turned out in terms of the flavour and design. It's my first time filling chiffon cake with cream, which can be quite tricky as the cake might tear if you fill it too much. Not only is it a unique decoration technique that Cooking Tree created, it adds flavour in an innovative way.
Who would have thought that you can fill a chiffon cake like a choux puff? 😄
Overall, I love how this cake turned out in terms of the flavour and design. My hubby is a fan of the chocolate and banana combination, so I am glad to have a new recipe for him! 🥰

ReplyDeletei made this and it's awesome! i just couldn't get the cream firm and smooth enough to pipe it as nicely as you did. thanks for the recipe! hope to see more cream-filled chiffon recipes!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy! Thank you, glad you liked my recipe! Maybe you can try to beat the cream for longer to make it firmer.
DeleteWhat is the height of your pan?
ReplyDeleteHi! The height is roughly 12cm
DeleteWell, what do you think about the look of this Chocolate Banana Chiffon Cake recipe? The combination of banana and chocolate should be perfect or so it sounds, and to top it all I love these chiffon cakes which are so very light. It is an awesome way to satisfy the sweet tooth or to engage in some baking when not bogged down by the coursework writing service assignments.
