Chocolate Banana Cake

Chocolate Banana Cake
From joyofbaking.com

This is a pretty simple, yet very satisfying cake to make. It's perfect for when you have several ripe bananas sitting on your counter and you have no idea what to do with them all.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups - 2 cups granulated white sugar (adjust to your sweet preference)
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cups cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2 medium sized, 3 small sized bananas)
1 cup warm water
1/2 cup milk
1/2 oil (canola, corn, safflower, etc.)
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. In a bowl, mash the bananas. Small bits left behind are OK as they add texture to the final cake.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas with all wet ingredients, and set aside.
3. In another large bowl, whisk all dry ingredients together.
4. Grease (spray or butter) a 9" x 13" pan. Set aside.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix well.
6. Pour the batter in the pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean (about 35-50min, depending on strength of oven).
7. Remove from oven and cool completely.

The original recipe called for a chocolate ganache spread on top, but I chose to go without it, as the cake itself is sweet enough.

The final cake should look a little something like this.

Sunset

After climbing an arduous climb up the hill at the Brickworks, I made it up just in the knick of time, as I turned around and saw a gorgious spectacle of orange, yellow, and red hues, with an even brighter spectacle in the sky.

I had to soak in the scene a little before taking some snaps.

Ah... this is what autumn is all about.
