BANANA CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE

This Banana Chocolate Cake recipe is one you can use for a special occasion, maybe a birthday cake. I made the Banana Chocolate Cake for my husband and mine wedding anniversary. It is a great cake for any occasion. My grand daughter got me to make the Banana Chocolate Cake for her birthday and she had friends over and they all thought it was from the bakers.

Banana Chocolate Cake Ingredients

2 eggs
6 oz milk
pinch salt
6 oz butter
1 cup sugar
2 oz chocolate
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp bi-cab-soda
2 1/2 cups plain flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup mashed banana
1/2 pint cream with sugar and vanilla for flavouring

Banana Chocolate Cake Method

Prepare two 8 inch sandwich tins by greasing and lining the bottom with paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Now you must start by mixing the soda, salt and the baking powder with the flour. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy and add the eggs one at a time mixing it well after each addition. Take the chocolate and put it into a bowl and put it over a saucepan of hot water and gently melt it and then add it to the creamed mixture and then add the vanilla. Mix the dry ingredients in alternately with the milk and mashed bananas and combine well. Divide the mixture evenly between the sandwich tins and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes and then turn out onto a wire cooler. When the Banana Chocolate Cake is quite cold split each layer in two and then rejoin the four layers with whipped sweetened cream making sure to keep a little for the top to decorate. Decorate the Banana Chocolate Cake with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

Enjoy your freshly made Banana Chocolate Cake!
