Bananas & chocolate

01a

I’m having trouble in adapting myself to the “new” computer… the new versions of the software make me feel uncomfortable and once in a while I can’t help but curse this forced computer cleaning.
Nevertheless I’m very happy to be back to flagrantedelicia and I’ve made my return with bananas and chocolate…

Chocolate and Banana cake

3 ripe bananas, sliced

Topping:
2 bananas, sliced
50 g sugar

Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC.
Grease and flour a round pan.
Whisk the eggs with the sugar until creamy and white.
Add the butter and combine well.
Fold in the flour, the cocoa and the baking powder previously sieved.
Pour one layer of dough into the pan and then a layer of banana slices and the chopped chocolate.

    Oh wow, this looks absolutely yummy. I love the spread of sliced bananas on top of the choc cake and what a delightful combination at that. As usual I have no words to describe the pictures and presentation.
