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.

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
