BANANA AND CHOCOLATE CAKE.
This moist and super chocolatey cake is a great way to use up any bananas which have gone slightly brown. Yum.
Ingredients...
4oz butter
4oz soft brown sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
3 bananas
7oz of chocolate
6oz self raising flour
60ml milk
Method...
Preheat the oven to gas 3/170 degrees and line a 2lb loaf tin.
Beat together butter and sugar well. Add the egg and vanilla and beat again. Add in the banana but breaking it into small pieces using your fingers and stir in. Add the flour and milk and mix. Finally add the chocolate once you have broken it into pieces, the chunkier the better!
Add to the tin and bake for 45 mins (check after 30mins) or until golden on top and it springs back to the touch in the middle. Leave to cool in the tin.
NB. The large pieces of banana and chocolate will mean that a skewer probably won't come out clean when it is cooked and it will be quite a dense cake but you are looking for the cake not to 'wobble' if you gently shake the tin.
Tip... If you double the recipe and use a 9" x 13" tin, this make a great tray bake. It should still take about 45 minutes to cook.
