Share:
Ingredients
- 3 egg large
- 200 g caster sugar golden, 7 oz
- 2 tsp vanilla sugar
- 140 g plain flour 5 oz
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 115 g butter melted and cooled
- 1 banana mashed, ripe or 1.5 black bananas
For Topping
- 100 g dark chocolate
- butter knob
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 175ºC.
- Grease and flour a loaf tin (dimensions 21.6 cm wide, 11.4 cm deep, 5.5 cm height).
- Whisk eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar until pale and foamy.
- Blend flour and baking powder together and fold into mixture alternately with melted butter.
- Then fold in the mashed banana.
- Put in a loaf tin and cook in the centre of the oven for about 50 minutes or until the cake springs back when prodded.
- Leave to cool for a few minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to fully cool.
- Make the chocolate topping by melting the chocolate and butter in a small glass bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, stirring until melted.
- Scrape the chocolate out of the bowl and onto the cake with a spatula.
- Use a palette knife to spread the chocolate evenly over cake.
- Allow to set (we have never managed to wait this long though)!
Notes
- Melt the butter first in a microwave on a low heat for less than a minute. Cover your dish with a plate in case of splatters!
