long time no see Mr. Oven.. i've came to visit u again.

oh well, i just wanted to bake something after coming back from a discussion in college.. because it wasnt such a happy discussion.. so... just had the urge to make somthing..

recipe :

Ingredients
125g unsalted butter
3/4 cup water
100g dark chocolate, chopped coarsely
20g cadbury chocolate
1 cup caster sugar
1 egg, beaten lightly
3/4 cup self-raising flour
1/2 cup plain flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder

about 2 bananas, halved
whipping cream for deco, whipped
scraped chocolate for deco

Preheat oven to slow (150 C). Grease a 7" cake pan.

Stir butter, water, chocolate and sugar in medium saucepan over heat until smooth. Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Whisk in egg with sifted flours and cocoa.
Pour mixture into pan, bake in slow oven about 45 minutes. Stand cakes for 5 minutes; turn, top-side up, onto wire rack to cool.

Using serrated knidfe, split cooled cakes in half. Place bottom layers on wire rack over tray. Spread whipping cream, add in halved bananas; cover with cake top. Spread whipping cream over the cake and smoothen it.

Add scrapped chocolate at the sides and top. and eat !!

ok.. mm.. cake was nice.. but there wasnt enough bananas in between. the texture of the cake seems pretty densed. do u know how can i make it more ... fluffy ? as in .. not so densed ? i was thinking maybe its because of the way i mix the chocolate mixture and the flour.. mm ... well.. what do u think ??

yeemei made her version of chocolate banana cake as well some time ago. but hers, the banana was sliced.. and buried in the cake (ho ho ho, buried.. what a word)...
