Banana Cake With Chocolate

It's husband birthday today! As I am only in the beginner stage of baking, I decided to prepare a simple cake as well as to finish up the ripen bananas. I thought a plain banana cake appearance would not be so appealing... therefore, I ended up with this .... (after all, this is my very first DIY birthday cake) ...

Ingredients

255g butter
240g castor sugar (original should 255g sugar)
3 large eggs
41/2 tbsp fresh milk
5 large size banana, mashed (I use 1 to cut slices for cake decoration)
338g plain flour (I actually mix 200g plain flour with 138g cake flour)
11/2 tsp baking powder
11/2 tsp bicarbonate soda

Ganache
100 gm dairy whipping cream
100 gm melted chocolate
20 gm butter

Method

Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add egg one at a time and cream until smooth and light.

Add in milk and banana, mix well.

Sieve in flour, baking powder & bicarbonate soda and fold in until well blended. Grease and line the baking mould. Pour the batter into the mould. B

Bake at 175C for 60 minutes or until bamboo skewer inserted to cake, comes out clean.

When cake is cool, slowly pour ganache over cake, store in fridge to chill the chocolate.
