Chocolate Banana Cake

Been down with serious flu for the past 1 week felt so terrible but at least its better now though i always get worse in the night its must be the terrible weather in sg for the past 1 week, thunder rains then followed by big scorching sun argghh i hate this kind of weather... so tonight to make myself better i baked this Chocolate Banana Cake.

As you can see chocolate is rarely used in all my bakes lol because i'm not a really big fan of chocolate but this recipe contains bananas my favorite and the unique combination of cocoa and banana really perks my interest in baking it.The original recipe title was Chocolate Banana Muffin but because i was lazy to scoop the batter into individual cups i baked it in a loaf pan instead and the result was just as beautiful.







The taste was excellent chocolaty with the hint of banana, soft and moist taste almost like a light mud cake you should try it!

  1. Hi Jess,

    Do take care of your health ya? drink more warm water =]

    I am both a banana lover and chocolate lover. Haha, my plan is to make a banana chocolate cake next week and I just bought my bananas 2 days back, waiting for it to be overriped before using.

    My version of banana chocolate cake is different though. Its more banana-ish.

    cheers
