Ingredients
- 40g Walnuts or Pecans
- 200g plain flour
- 1tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2tsp salt
- 125ml plain vegetable oil
- 150g light brown sugar
- 3-4 ripe bananas
- 2 eggs
- 60ml buttermilk
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 80g chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
- 100g milk and 100g dark chocolate to drizzle over cake
- oil to grease tin
Instructions
- Turn oven to 180 °C, lightly grease the cake tin with vegetable oil and line the bottom with baking paper
- Toast the nuts, 5-10 min in oven and then roughly chop. Turn oven down to 170°C.
- Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt together, mix through the nuts and chocolate chips and set aside.
- Whisk the eggs with the oil until well combined. Mash and stir in the banana, buttermilk and vanilla. Fold in the flour and fold in gently so everything is combined. Pour into tin, gently flattening the top and bake 30-45 min on the middle shelf.
- Remove from oven and cool 10 min, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Once the cake is cool, melt the dark chocolate. The easiest way is simply in the microwave! Microwave 30 seconds, stir. Then microwave in 10second bursts until the chocolate has melted. Drizzle all over the cooled cake. Repeat with the milk chocolate. Serve with warm chocolate or cool – choice is yours!
