Banana Chocolate Cake

This banana cake combines the sweet flavor of ripe bananas with chocolate.

Most of you will agree banana and chocolate is like Marriage made in heaven :-)

Adding the cacoa powder gives you a really dark colour and also good chocolate taste.

Anyway most of us buys banana and it lays there overrippened. So instead of throwing the overripe bananas, one can make this cake which so easy to prepare.
I was really surprised how little time i spend in making this cake.

The cake was really moist.

I had to hurry up in adding a new post as Nags have been asking for a update :-)))))

All of you know Mandira is hosting JFI this month.
