Chocolate chip and banana cake

Previous Recipe......
  •  
  • 190 g plain flour
  • 135 g white sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 225 g mashed bananas
  • 1 egg
  • 115 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 60 ml milk
  • 125 g plain chocolate chips (I used a bar of plain cooking chocolate, chopped up)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine bananas, egg, melted butter and milk.
  4. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture until blended. Be careful not to over mix.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. (It will have some melted chocolate, but no crumbs.)
I followed this recipe (taken from here) last night to use up a couple of ageing bananas. In the end it took all night to cook it: I cooked it with the oven on for nearly an hour, then just turned the oven off and left it in there overnight. Pretty easy recipe to follow, and manageable in an evening.

Yummy :)
