Banana chocolate Walnut cake

My friends gave me some organic bananas and they ripen just nice for a banana cake.    So happened that I saw E baking a banana cake so I decided to try hers.

Just the other day, a friend gave me a Banana chocolate bread.  Thus got a little inspiration and modified it to add in all our other's favourites.... tada our Banana Walnut with peanut butter chips Cake.

Learning experience:

This cake definitely taste better after an overnight rest.  The texture is soft and fluffy.   The sweetness is just nice after adding in all the peanut butter chips.

Next time, I will chopped the walnut smaller too as it will be easier to cut.  I did not follow the bake time as mine was done by 35 mins.  I think can even goes down to 30 mins.

What you need: 

100g unsalted butter (melted)
80g castor sugar

1 large egg, beaten
130g plain flour

a pinch of salt
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
130g bananas (purée)
1 tbsp whipping cream 
½ tsp vanilla

80g peanut butter chip

80g walnut bits, roasted lightly

Method:

Preheat oven to 160℃. Line and grease a 7x3x 3” loaf pan.

Sift plain flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.  Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.

Add in the egg and beat well.

Add in the whipping cream and beat well.

Fold in the banana puree, chocolate chips and walnut.

Sift in the flour mixture and fold into the batter until smooth.

Pour into prepare pan and bake for 45 - 55 mins or until done. (I baked mine only at 35 mins)

 

Enjoy!
