  • 1/2 Cup | 96g Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Large Egg, 55g-65g best, room temp
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
  • 1 1/4 Cup | 150g All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 Cup | 25g Natural Cocoa, unsweetened

  • 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
  • 4 Tablespoon hot Milk
  • 1/2 Cup | 80g Semi sweet Chocolate chips, optional
  • 1 Teaspoon White Vinegar

Equipment

  • 7 inch Round Pan
  • Balloon Whisk
  • Kitchen Weighing Scale
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Mash either 2 medium sized ripe bananas or 4 baby Bananas till no lumps in a bowl. I used a masher but a fork also is fine.
  2. Add fine granulated Sugar, Oil, Whisked Egg and Vanilla Essence to the mashed bananas. Whisk everything well till the sugar almost dissolves.
  3. Place a Sieve on top and Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, soda and salt in two batches. Fold Gently till combined. Add 2 Tablespoon of hot milk and fold. Sift rest of the dry ingredients, add the chocolate chips and fold gently till combined. Add remaining 2 Tablespoon of Hot Milk and fold.
  4. Add the Vinegar at the end when you have prepared your baking Pan. Grease and line a 7 inch pan with parchment paper.
  5. Batter should not be too runny nor too thick. Top with few chocolate chips. Bake @170C in a preheated oven for 40-45mins or till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Due to chocolate chips the toothpick inserted might come out with some melted chocolate but there shouldn't be any wet batter.
  7. Brush with some melted butter once baked and let cool down for 30-40 mins before un molding. Tastes best the next day.
