List of Ingredients

Cake
2 cups salad oil
4 cups sugar
8 large eggs
12 mashed ripe bananas
8 cups flour
4 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup milk 1 T vanilla extract

1 pound semi-sweet chocolate
1 cup milk
1/2 cup whipping cream



Recipe

Making The Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour muffin tins or line them with paper baking liners. Mix oil and sugar together. Add eggs and bananas to oil mixture. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to mixture. Add milk and vanilla. Make sure batter is well mixed. Fill muffin tins 3/4 full. Bake for 15-18 minutes.

Preparing the Chocolate Sauce
Melt semi-sweet chocolate (preferably Callebut, but any bakers chocolate will do), in a double boiler over simmering water. When chocolate is completely melted and warm, remove from double boiler. Add milk and whipping cream. Stir into chocolate until combined.
Serve cakes immediately with hot chocolate sauce.

Chef's Tips: If chocolate sauce begins to thicken after combining the ingredients, return bow to double boiler and stir over low heat. The sauce can be re-heated in the microwave on the low power setting.
