Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cake:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Coating:
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the mashed banana and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch round cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before crumbling it into fine pieces in a large bowl.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Add the melted chocolate to the crumbled cake and mix until well combined.
- Form the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Once chilled, dip each truffle in the remaining melted white chocolate and place back on the parchment to set.
Notes
- Make-ahead: These truffles can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
