Maca Banana Chocolate Cakes with Caramel Sauce

Ingredients Maca Banana Chocolate Cake

This is one of my favorite cupcake recipes – bananas with healthy cocoa powder, agave nectar, and some vanilla extract for flavor is a truly delicious combination that goes perfectly with different kinds of toppings. When it comes to the shape, you can play with it for a while and use a different kind of mini cake pans and molds. This will give you an interesting and unique shape you can decorate with nuts, seeds, fruits, and flowers.

Chocolate Preparation - Maca Banana Chocolate Cake

These cupcakes are delicious and good as they are so you can easily serve them directly from the oven. However, you can take some extra time and prepare a delicious salted caramel sauce that goes perfectly with a gentle chocolate flavor of these cupcakes. Drizzle with the warm caramel sauce and top with finely chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts, or hazelnuts. I promise you'll enjoy it!
