It's one of those odd German cakes that only really makes sense if you grew up there. Chocolate base, sliced bananas, vanilla cream, and far too many cake crumbs heaped on top until the whole thing looks like a molehill.
Steps
Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl. In another, whisk the eggs, sugar, oil, soy milk and vanilla, then stir the two together and fold in the grated chocolate. Pour into a lined 20cm tin and bake at 160°C for around 25 minutes.
Let the cake cool completely, then hollow it out, leaving a base and a border around the edge. Crumble up the cake you've scooped out.
Lay the bananas over the base. Whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla, fold in the grated chocolate and spread it over the bananas in a rounded heap.
Finally, press the crumbs all over the cream until it looks like a little molehill.
