Banana Chocolate Chip Cake Mmmmm Yummy

I know its so many months that I could squeeze some time and post something...Well, here it is, Yummy, Tasty and Delicious... And Eggless Banana Chocolate Chip Cake!!!




Ingredients:

Maida/White flour - 1/2 Cup
Butter - 1/4 Cup
Sugar - 1/4 Cup
Ripe Bananas - 2 Big
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
Chocolate Chips - 1/4 cup
Vanilla Essence - 4 drops
Cake mould - either silicon or tray base

Preparation:

1. Mix maida/white flour with baking powder and baking soda.
2. Mash bananas into a smooth paste and keep it aside. You could use a little milk or water if the bananas are not as ripe to mash them.
3. Blend butter and sugar together with a hand blender. If you don't have one, you could melt butter slightly and then mix it with sugar and make a fluffy paste.
4. Now add the butter+sugar mix to the flour mix little by little and keep mixing it to make a smooth paste.
5. Add the banana paste to the flour mix little by little and keep mixing again to make a very smooth paste. There should be no lumps in the flour.
6. Add the vanilla essence and mix.
7. Finally add the chocolate chips and mix.
8. Take the cake mould, put little butter and spread it on it's inside. Spray some flour and then remove the extra flour on the mould by just dusting it off. This makes sure the cake does not stick to the mould.
9. Add the flour paste to the cake mould and then pat the mould on a flat surface so that the paste settles evenly on the mould.
10. Add some chocolate chips on top also.
11. Keep the mould now in the oven 220 degrees (preheated for 20 minutes recommended). It depends on specific ovens how much time it usually takes. Usually, it takes around 40 minutes.
12. To find out if the cake is done, put a knife into it, in the middle and it should come without any thing sticking to it.

Special Tips: You can also make this cake in the microwave oven with the convection model, use the same temperature but the time would be very short..around 10 to 15 minutes.

Also You could only make banana cake without the chocolate chips or for decoration, sprinkle sugar powder or instead of the chocolate chips, you could add roasted walnuts - another gr8 combination.

Hope you make it and relish the taste... Do let me know how you did it.
