Chocolate Banana Cake

Lately I've baked chocolate banana cakes at my best friend's place. The first time was in February, I think. The second time was yesterday. Both results were YUMMY! Although not as good as bakery's but the satisfaction of seeing the batter became a hot, steamy, and delicious cake was just too hard to contain :) Let alone sinking your teeth into it!

Chocolate Banana Cake

Ingredients:
 
250g baking flour
200g sugar (I prefer brown sugar)
30g cocoa powder (I use Van Houten brand, tin)
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
80g walnuts, coarsely chopped
100g white chocolate chips
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
120g butter, melted and cooled
4 ripe bananas, pureed
1 tsp vanilla essence

How to Bake:
 
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place the oven rack in the middle.

2. Butter a baking tray, preferably round. Set aside.

3. Whisk baking flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a big basin. Set aside.

4. Combine banana puree, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla essence in a bowl and pour into the basin in step 3. Stir until the batter becomes thick and sticky.

5. Add walnuts and chocolate chips. Mix again.

6. Pour into the baking tray. Smooth the batter evenly until it covers the whole tray.

7. Put the tray into the pre-heated oven and bake until cake has risen. This will take 40-50 minutes.

8. Insert a fork into the center. If it comes out clean, it is cooked.

9. Take out the tray and leave it to cool at room temperature.

10. Before serving, remove the cake from the tray. Serve warm or at room temperature.

VOILA!!
