Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake

Dense Chocolate Loaf Cake

This fantastic cake is from Nigella Lawson’s How to be a Domestic Goddess book but it can be found here if you don’t have to book.  I love this recipe but find that it makes too much for one normal 2lb loaf tin and not quite enough for 2 (which is what I made today).  In the past I have tried to squeeze it into one tin and found about half of it on the bottom of my oven!

Banana and Chocolate Loaf

I’ve discovered two things whilst writing this blog;

1. It is much harder than I thought to take good photos of food – especially with a ‘point and click camera’ and on dark evenings when the kitchen is poorly lit
2. Most cake/biscuit/bread recipes are very similar – does that make the blog boring?

Any variety of cake made with banana and chocolate is a favourite of one of my boys which is a good things as we often have overripe bananas in the fruit bowl that no one will eat!
