List of Ingredients

125g Unsalted butter
270g Caster sugar or light brown sugar
2 Eggs (~50g)
300g Plain white flour
½ Tsp Baking soda
1 ¼ Tsp Baking powder
A pinch salt
½ Tsp Vanilla extract
4 Cubes dark cooking chocolate (min. 44 % cocoa), melted and cooled
3 Ripe bananas, mashed
3 Tsp Cocoa
1 Tbs Dark rum (optional)



Recipe

1. Preheat the oven on 180°C (350°F)
2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, soda and salt in a recipent.
3. In a bowl cream the butter with the sugar and vanilla extract.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, into the butter mixture and mix well until blended.
5. Add the melted chocolate and stir well.
6. Sieve the flour mixture into the batter alternately with the mashed bananas until it is perfectly smooth.
7. Add the sieved cocoa and the rum.
8. Pour the batter into a greased cake tin of your choice and bake for about 40 minutes, until a thin skewer comes out free from the mixture when inserted into the thickest part of the cake.

Remarks:
When you add the eggs, beat thoroughly in order to get a smooth mixture.
If the batter is too thick, then add a little milk to it, but normally it should be wet enough.

Serving suggestions:
You can frost the cake with "CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING" if you wish. I ate it without frosting and it was very fine and tasty.
