Banana Chocolate Cake~bread

This is a great recipe if you have extra bananas that are about to go bad or are too overripe to eat. You can also customize it to suit your taste. I happen to think brown sugar works better than plain sugar for dishes involving bananas. I changed and halved this recipe since I have a small family you can easily double it and produce a bigger cake. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

•  1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
•  3/4 cup all-purpose flour 
•  1/2  teaspoon baking soda
•  1/4 teaspoon fine salt
•  1/2  cup brown sugar
•  1 large egg
• 4 ripe bananas 
•  1 teaspoon vanilla powder or extract
•  2 bars of chocolate 

Materials: Measuring cups and spoons, hand mixer or blender, whisk or fork

baking pan.

Method:

Step 1: Preheat oven at 350 degrees

Step 2: grease and flour pan 

Step 3: Put salt, flour and baking soda in a bowl and mix by hand.

Step 4: In a blender add the butter and sugar and mix until it resembles crumbs.

Step 5: Add egg, vanilla powder, sliced up banana/pieces and crumbled up chocolate to the blender.

Step 6: pulse until it looks like a smoothie.

Step 7: Add "smoothie" to flour mixture use whisk and combine until smooth.

Step 8: Bake for 30-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Tips:

• Blender is a lot easier than hand mixer and will combine ingredients a lot more easily. 
• You can allow it to cool and frost it or add some powdered sugar
• Overripe bananas work well in the dish
• You can also add some cocoa powder to flour mixture to add more of a chocolate flavor.
• You can use 3 ounces of chocolate instead of bars 

Enjoy!
