This recipe with chocolate has now become our firm favourite and it's a great way to use up those forgotten over ripe bananas that have been left in the fruit bowl
So the other day I was on tesco's website doing a shop and was having a look at their recipes for some inspiration (I'm really getting bored of the same old dishes I make)
A straightforward, quick recipe and a great way to use up bananas that look more black than yellow. This cake has been in my recipe book for more years than I care to remember and I cannot remember when I actually made it last, possibly decades
Cake is always good when you add banana, but when you add matcha and crunchy brazil nuts, you can reduce the sugar and sprinkle on the chocolate chips for a really soft, fluffy and utterly delicious cake to enjoy with your mid-morning tea
Bahia, Sao Paulo, Brasilia are all mentioned in the classic track by "Brazilian Love Affair" by George Duke which I recall being played over and over by elder soul / jazz funk loving sister when I was a child and it all seamed so exotic and tropical, so here are some of the flavours of Brazil in cakeform
Every week despite our small household of two we go through a lot of eggs - from simple omelettes for supper to baking all sorts of lovely cakes or just a simple egg wash on something naughty but nice like a homemade sausage roll, and buying free range is the bare minimum of quality for us
I am not hugely fond of banana smoothies so I searched through the blog archives for ideas. It is an easy, and quite plain loaf cake, but once you smother it with Butterscotch Chocolate Sauce it transforms into quite the looker
It’s certainly not one for the weight-watchers I’m afraid, but my family made light work of getting through it, and as the cake does contain three bananas there is a little goodness in there as well as the naughty stuff
