An exceptionally moist Pesach cake, this is an easy recipe that yields a banana chocolate chip cake that you won’t believe is Kosher for Pesach! This moist cake is perfectly flavored with banana and chock full of chocolate chips! Topped with a smooth, sweet icing, this is the perfect Pesach cake to make, especially when you have a few extra bananas lying around.
For a year-round variation, try this simple banana bread recipe by Brynie Greisman.
1/2 cup margarine, melted
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas
1/2 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
3/4 cup Yehuda Matzo Cake Meal
1/2 cup Gefen Potato Starch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup Glicks Chocolate Chips
cocoa powder, for dusting
2 teaspoons hot water
1 teaspoon oil
toasted chopped walnuts – for topping
Beat margarine and sugar. Add the eggs and beat until they become pale yellow.
Add bananas and mix until mashed. Add vanilla.
Add dry ingredients and mix until combined. Add chocolate chips.
Bake for approximately 50 minutes or when it springs back if you touch with a finger.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 10-cup bundt pan well and dust it thoroughly with cocoa powder.
Mix glaze ingredients. If too thick, add water by the half-teaspoon until it reaches the consistency of glue.
Pour on top of cooled cake and sprinkle toasted nuts on top as desired.

Oil instead of margarine? Can I use oil instead of margarine?
I’ve never tried it for this specific recipe but it seems like you would be able to substitute the margarine for oil.
What size pan do you use? What size pan do you use?
According to the picture, it looks like a standard bunt sized pan was used.
Chocolate Chip Amount? There is no amount listed on the recipe list (nor are the chips actually listed at all). How much is it recommended be added? Also, a little confused on how the addition of baking soda/salt keeps this Kosher for Passover. Please advise.
I know not everyone uses these products, but I have baking soda, baking powder, salt and vanilla sugar, all kosher l’Pesach with a the B’datz Aida Hacharidit. (I live in Yerushalayim).
Baking soda and baking powder are not made from any ingredients that are chometz. Hence, their ability to be kosher for Passover. As far as chocolate chips.
I would add 1-1 and1/2 cups to the batter. Thanks for pointing that out to us.
Used only 2 bananas and oil because that was what I had. Turned it into muffins.
I am looking forward to making this but I thought that Baking Soda is not Kosher for Passover.

Amazing – used oil instead and cut out some sugar- fluffy and moist and does not taste Pesachdig
I just made this cake now. I don’t use margarine, so i replaced it with oil. (1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp). My cake was done in 35 minutes. It’s not nearly as high as yours. It’s only about 2 1/4 inches tall. If I had known i would have just used a square pan, cuz it looks a bit silly being so short.
Does this recipe call for 1 tsp of salt and only ¾ cup of matzoh cake meal?
You are correct
I made this cake today with a few changes and it is fantastic!!! GREAT texture with Rich banana flavor and very moist. Does NOT take like a Passover Cake! Plus, it is VERY EASY to make!!!
I followed another reviewers suggestions and substituted 1 Cup Toasted Chopped Walnuts for the Chocolate Chips
and used 4 Large Bananas. My cake was done in 36 minutes on Convection Bake Setting.
I heavily greased the pan because cakes always stick in my 12 Cup Bundt pan.
I would suggest using a 10 Cup Bundt pan instead of the standard 12 Cup, for a higher looking cake.
I like to weigh my ingredients rather then measure them but I followed this recipe & measured the ingredients in Cups because the conversion was too off. This is the amount of ingredients I used and what they weighed (after I used measuring cups):
104 grams Cake Meal,
77 grams Potato Starch,
106 grams Toasted Chopped Walnuts,
Next time I make this cake, I will just use the gram amount and skip the measuring cups.
If you like Banana Cake, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND making this cake!!!! You will not be disappointed!
Easy I love this recipe because you don’t have to separate eggs. I used it to make 12 muffins. They’ll
Be perfect for Pesach breakfasts!
use walnuts instead of chocolate for an outstanding cake I used 1 C of chopped walnuts in place of the chocolate chips (and increased the bananas to four). The cake was outstanding, especially by the 3rd and 4th days.
Yum. Thanks loads.
