Chocolate Banana Cake

The fruity sweetness of bananas and the intoxicating bitterness of cocoa are a made-for-each-other combination, especially when you team them up to make a dessert such as this! This irresistible Chocolate Banana Cake has an intense flavour of chocolate, which is further deepened by the addition of brown sugar. Ideal proportions of all other ingredients including flour, condensed milk, butter and cream result in a perfectly spongy texture too. Enjoy this cake warm with a cup of tea, or top it with a scoop of ice-cream and serve it for dessert!

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 45 to 50 minutes
Baking temperature: 180°C (360°F).
