Banana - Chocolate cake

0 Shares

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!
