Instructions
Make the chocolate banana cake
- Preheat the oven to 180C (350F). Line a 2lb loaf tin with baking paper or use a loaf liner.
- Put the chopped chocolate and butter in a large bowl. Microwave for 30 second bursts, stirring, until melted. Stir with a hand whisk until smooth and set aside.
- Blitz the bananas, sugar, milk, eggs and vanilla paste in a food processor until smooth or mash the bananas with a fork and stir in the other ingredients.
- Stir the purée into the chocolate until smooth.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder and salt over the bowl and then stir it in with a whisk, mixing gently until you have a glossy batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 55 minutes – 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean and cake is risen and firm on top. Cool on a wire rack.
Make the chocolate sauce
- Put the cream, sugar, butter and vanilla into a small saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until the sugar has dissolved and butter has melted. Bring almost to the boil and remove from heat.
- Add the salt and chopped chocolate and leave to stand for a couple of minutes. Use a whisk to gently stir until the chocolate has melted completely and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
- Leave the chocolate sauce to cool slightly so that it thickens.
- Pour the sauce over the cooled cake and decorate with chocolate curls or chopped nuts.

Notes
