Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 3 tablespoons hazelnut cream
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup liquid oil
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 packet baking powder (10–12 g)
  • 1 packet vanilla sugar (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)

For the Chocolate Hazelnut Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons hazelnut cream
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
 

Make the Cake Batter:

  • In a blender, combine banana, hazelnut cream, eggs, milk, and oil. Blend until smooth.
  • Add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and vanilla.
  • Mix gently with a whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.

Cook on the Stovetop:

  • Lightly grease a 22 cm non-stick pan.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
  • Cover with a lid and cook on very low heat for 35–40 minutes.
  • Test with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Prepare the Sauce:

  • In a saucepan, heat milk, hazelnut cream, and butter until simmering.
  • Add chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly.

Assemble:

  • Pour the warm sauce over the slightly warm cake.
  • Slice and serve.
