Have you ever heard of „Mole Cake“? Here in Germany, it’s very popular, everyone loves it! I mean, who doesn’t love a delicious banana cream chocolate cake? Especially when it also has a fruity cherry compote, it most certainly takes this cake to the next level! Do you like the cherry banana combination too? If so, you should definitely not omit it.

How to make a vegan Mole Cake

The great thing about this recipe is that this banana cream chocolate cake is not only incredibly delicious, but this mole cake comes together super fast! You only need to whip up the cream and bake the soft Chocolate Crumble Cake. Once the chocolate cake is cooled gently scoop out the middle of the cake using a tablespoon, leaving a 0,4-inch (1-cm) bottom and 0,6-inch (1,5-cm) rim. To create an even rim, I like to lightly scratch a circle inside the cake with a knife before scooping it out. You can crumble the scooped out cake into a bowl and set it aside because we’ll use it for the topping later.

Banana Cream Cherry Filling

Firstly, peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise, then place the halved bananas on the scooped out cake. Secondly, if you’re using cherry compote, spread that on now. Thirdly, add the whipped cream on top and spread to form a pile. Lastly, cover the pile of cream with the scooped out chocolate cake crumbles and press down gently. Now your vegan Mole Cake should look like a molehill!

Make this Banana Cream Chocolate Cake with any fruits you like!

If you’re not a big fan of combining cherries and bananas, don’t worry, because this cake even tastes amazing when it’s made with bananas only. However, you can also add cherries only, or any other fruits you want. In spring or summer, I also like to prepare this vegan Mole Cake with fresh seasonal strawberries, raspberries or blueberries. I haven’t tried it with canned mandarin oranges, peaches or nectarines yet, but I will definitely do that soon.

Only a few simple ingredients required

As you can see, this Banana cream Chocolate Cake is one of those simple cakes that you can bake and enjoy all year round. There are no seasonal or extraordinary ingredients required, so you only need ingredients you might already have at home. If you’re vegan make sure to use good non-dairy whipping cream. I recommend using this one because I always have great results with it.

Ingredients

7,9/8,7-inch (20/22-cm) Springform

Chocolate Mole Cake

• 1/2 cup soft vegan butter or margarine (100 g)
• 1/2 cup sugar* (90 g)
• 1 mashed banana (125 g) or apple sauce
• 1,5 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups flour (240 g) *optional gluten-free flour
• 1 tbsp cornstarch (10 g) or vanilla pudding powder
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder (30 g) unsweetened
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2/3 cup non-dairy milk (150 ml)

Banana Cream Filling

• 2 cups non-dairy whipping cream* (450 g)
• 2 packages of cream stabilizer
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar*
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate (75 g) shredded
• 2 bananas
• 2/3 cup cherry compote (150 g) optional

Instructions 

* Please watch the recipe video or check out the step-by-step photos above for easier understanding!

Chocolate Mole Cake

• Preheat oven to 355°F (180°C) and grease a 7.9/8.7-inch (20/22-cm) round baking tin.
• Mix soft vegan butter with the sugar and mashed banana until creamy using an electric hand mixer.
• In a small cup, stir baking powder into apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
• Combine flour, cornstarch, cocoa, and salt in a bowl. Add the butter-sugar-banana cream and, gradually, add non-dairy milk along with the baking powder vinegar mixture, stirring to combine. (Add a little more milk, if needed).
• Fill the dough into the greased baking tin and bake for about 35 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick into the middle of the cake comes out almost clean. Allow to cool afterwards.
• Once cooled, gently scoop out the center of the chocolate cake using a tablespoon, leaving a 0,4-inch (1-cm) bottom and 0,6-inch (1,5-cm) rim. (To make sure you create an even rim, slightly scratch a circle inside the cake with a knife before scooping out).
• Crumble the scooped out cake in a bowl and set aside for the topping later.

Banana Cream Filling

• Beat cream with an electric hand mixer on high speed for about 1 minute. Add powdered sugar, cream stabilizer, and vanilla and continue beating until stiff. Carefully, fold in shredded chocolate using a spatula. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Peel the bananas and cut them in a half lengthwise. Place on the scooped out cake and, optionally, also spread over the cherry compote (or sub other fruits).
• Add the whipped cream on top and spread to form a pile. Cover the cream with the scooped out cake crumbs and press down gently.
• Let the cake chill at least 2 hours in the fridge before serving.
• Enjoy!

Notes

• I highly recommend, watching the recipe video or checking out the step-by-step photos in the blog post above for easier understanding!
• To make this cake GLUTEN-FREE, you can use a gluten-free flour blend.
• To make this cake reduced in sugar you can use a sugar substitute. Agave syrup, maple syrup, date syrup, or coconut sugar is fine too.
• I use this non-dairy cream for whipping because I always have great results with that. However, you could also use another whipping cream.
• You can add any kind of chocolate and any fruit you like.
