Ingredients

• 205g plain flour
• 76g melted salted butter
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda
• 2-3 medium ripe bananas
• 150g sugar
• 1 large egg (beaten)
• Belgian / milk chocolate chips according to preference .
• Mixed nuts (finely chopped)

Method

1. Recite  Bismillah..
2. Pre-heat oven to  175c.
3. Grease a medium loaf pan (roughly around 21cm x 11cm) or a bundt pan with a generous amount of butter, including the sides. Then sprinkle some self raising flour & shake & tilt the tin around so it is thinly coated with flour. Shake off any excess flour. Set aside.
4. Mash the bananas, or put them in your stand mixer and let it do the work!  
5. Then, add the butter and mix well.
6. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
7. Pour into greased pan.
8. Sprinkle some chopped nuts and chocolate chips.
9. Bake on 175c for 45-50 mins. You will know the cake is done when you press the centre & it springs back. Do not rely on a clean toothpick!
10. Run a knife all around the sides of the pan, this will help release the cake from the pan.
11. Remove the cake from pan by placing a tray on top of the cake. Flip the tin over so that the top of the cake with the tray is now facing down. Pat the back of the tin all around. The cake should release from the bottom. Lift the tin gently.
12. Allow to cool, preferably on a cooling rack .
13. Enjoy!
