This is by far the BEST banana/walnut/chocochip cake I have ever made – and I’ve made a couple 🙂
Preheat oven at 180 C
Ingredients:
- 2 full cups of flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Sift them all together and set aside
- In a large bowl mash 5 ripe large bananas. Add to that
- 3 medium sized eggs. Beat well till creamy. Then add:
- 2 & half cups of dark brown sugar. You can take the lighter one too but brown it must be. And the dark one tastes better.
- 1 full tsp vanilla sugar or essence
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
- 1 cup of oil – not olive oil, the taste is too strong
Beat all of this well and add the flour. Mixing in well, without whisking too much. Finally add 1 full cup of chopped walnuts and a full cup of chocolate chips and fold in carefully.
Put in a loaf pan, filling only 3/4 of the pan. After 5 minutes reduce heat to 160 and bake for around 25 to 35 minutes, depending on your oven. The standard test of toothpick coming out clean is the best way.. I made muffins out of the remaining batter by the way..
Let it rest for around 10 to 15 minutes and then turn out. Obviously it tastes best fresh but if it stays around that long, even 2 days later the taste is amazing
