Banana – Chocolate cake

Alright, these are actually supposed to be made as muffins. Since I did not have a muffin tray, I decided to bake it as a whole cake.  And I am superbly happy with the result! I’ve made a banana cake earlier, but this was the first time I was trying something with chocolate chips. And without digressing, here is the recipe:

What you need:

  • 1 1/2 cups of flour
  • 1 cup sugar measured and powdered
  • 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp  salt
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas ( I mashed two)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted ( I took butter that was really soft)
  • 1/4 cup milk – I used whole fat milk
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips ( I chopped up some dark chocolate that was at home)
Method:
  • Pre heat the oven at 170 degrees celsius for about 6 minutes.
  • Mix the flour, salt, sugar and the baking powder. keep aside.
  • Mix the banana, milk, egg and the butter together. I used a hand blender and blended it for about 3 minutes, alternating between the speeds.
  • Now, add this mixture to the mixed dry ingredients. Do not use the blender now. Mix it well. Add the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into greased muffin trays or the cake tray. Bake for about 35 minutes.
 
The original recipe does not ask you to add essence. I am a bit wary of baking cakes without essence, so I used a tsp of vanilla essence in this. My friend who bakes this suggested the use of a banana essence instead. Since I was half-way into getting the batter ready and had no banana essence at home, I used the vanilla essence.
Bake check: When you insert the tester to check if the cake has baked, it should have some melted chocolate on it, but no cake batter.
The finished product!
