I am back in my baking mood again. I guess, it comes together with my domesticated phase. Last weekend, I have been sorting out my clothes, shoes and handbags in the walk-in wardrobe. Chris and I have been doing a bit of gardening of late too. The baking is just an icing on the cake of my domesticated mood, really.
Oh yes. I also work. Normally, I do nothing else but work.
I don't mind being domesticated from time to time. It is good for my soul. I am glad I found this really yummy and easy Banana Chocolate cake recipe on Joy of Baking website (my favourite baking site). It is so moist but light tasting, it makes me feel like a superstar baker. Everyone who knows me know, when it comes to baking, I am as mediocre as the word mediocre can ever mediocrely be!
This is such an easy cake to make too. The preparation takes 15 minutes and after 45 minutes in the oven, it is ready to be devoured.
I could have made the chocolate ganache to serve it with but I always feel terribly guilty when I eat chocolate cake so I prefer not too make myself feel worse by piling on the calories on top of the already sinful consumption of chocolatey deliciousness...
We took some of the cake to Judy and Duncan's place, who just had their second child Cleo. Milla decorated the slices of cake with pink-and-purple Princess delight decorative sugar sprinkles. I am telling you, if you are raising a girl, you should have one of those cylinders of Princess Delight decorative sprinkles in your pantry because little girls simply love decorating cakes (cupcakes and pancakes included) and ice-cream (and everything else too if you let them!) with those sprinkles.
I love this cake and I can recommend the recipe to anyone who loves banana and chocolate, moist (very moist) and light tasting, cake! It is also so easy to make! If I can bake it, everyone else can bake it with their eyes closed and standing on the head!
