Chocolate Banana Cake

Last day of hols meaning last day to make something!

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

2 cups self-raising flour

1/4 cup cocoa

1 cup caster sugar

1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

2 eggs

3/4 cup boiling water

1teaspoon imitation vanilla essence

2 bananas, peeled and roughly broken (Note: I used 5 bananas to make the cake)

Icing:

100 g cream cheese

1/2 cup icing sugar

1 tablespoon hot milk

1 tablespoon cocoa

Procedure:

1) Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush 8" x 4" x 4" tin with butter or you can just cut a grease paper and fir it in nicely.

2)Place dry ingredients into food-processor bowl. Add eggs, water, vanilla essence and banana. Using the pulse action, process 15 seconds or until mixture is smooth.

3) Spoon mixture into prepared tins; smooth surfaces. Bake for 50 minutes or until skewer comes out clean when inserted in centre.

4) Stand cakes in tines 10 minutes before turning on to wire rack to cool.

5) To make the icing;: beat cream cheese and icing sugar with electric beaters in small mixer bowl until smooth and creamy. Add milk and cocoa; beat until well combined. Spread evenly over the cake using a palette knife or you can cut the cake into half and just spread the icing on it, that's what I did anyway.

Hmm... irresistable

These are chocolate flakes. They're the easiest dessert to make! Seriously. All you need is a box of cornflakes and melted chocolate.

Tip for melting chocolate:

1) You can use any chocolate. When I mean any I mean even eating chocolate bought from supermarket. To me, cooking chocolate bought from any bakery is still the best.

2) When melting a chocolate, cut the chocolate bars in to tiny pieces so that it'll melt in a faster rate.

3) To melt a chocolate quickly, place the chocolate in to a bowl and place the bowl in to a pot of hot water. Be careful not to let any hot water splashes in to the chocolate or the chocolate will be ruin.

4) The bowl that you place the chocolate in should ALWAYS BE LARGER than the pot of hot water. This is so that there won't be any difficulty when taking the bowl of chocolate out.

5) You MUST always stir the chocolate and not leave it aside otherwise it'll turn hard.

Something like this, but use a bigger bowl :)
