Banana Chocolate Cake

This is my favorite banana cake recipe. It's dense but moist and is perfect with chocolate in it. Add any kind of nut or mix-in you like!

Banana Chocolate Loaf Cake:

150 gr soft butter

1 cup of light brown sugar

4 eggs

2 ½ cups of flour

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp baking powder

1 ½ cups mashed bananas

200 gr of dark chocolate, chopped

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a loaf pan and line it with parchment.

In a bowl stir together flour, baking powder and soda, set aside.

In another bowl beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, add eggs one at a time until smooth. Then mix in the flour mixture just until combined - don't over mix. Stir bananas and half of the chocolate into the cake batter, pour it into a loaf pan and scatter the rest of the chocolate on top.

Bake for about 35 minutes (or until skewer comes out clean)

Yes I know. I've been a very lousy blogger lately.....sorry for that.

The fact that I'm posting the daring bakers challenge sooo late proves enough.

Better later than never.... right? ...right?

I'm made the original version with vanilla bean ice cream, they were amazing and I enjoyed making them. The only thing I changed was using extra salt and garnishing with cashews.
