I made this cake to use up some bananas that no one would eat as they were a bit overripe.
First I mashed the bananas and then added plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, sugar, butter and eggs and beat the mixture until it was smooth.
I then chopped some chocolate – which I always do instead of using chocolate chips as it is cheaper – and stirred them in.
I poured the batter into a lined loaf tin – the one I used was a bit big for the amount of mixture I made so the cake ended up quite flat – and baked the cake at a low heat for about 45 minutes.
Unfortunately the chocolate chips sank to the bottom. I think this was partly due to the fact that I was a bit lazy and didn’t chop the chocolate small enough! Also tossing the chips in flour first can help to stop them sinking.
Despite the sunken chocolate the cake was delicious and moist.
