Banana and chocolate button cake

January 22, 2013 By Sandy

Banana and chocolate button cake

This delicious banana cake recipe is from my friend Carol, a great baker, who claims not to like chocolate!

140g butter
250g soft brown sugar
2 eggs
250g self raising flour
4 ripe bananas (roughly mashed)
100g chocolate buttons

20 – 23cm square cake tin or similar , greased and bottom lined with parchment paper

  • Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F/ Gas4
  • Cream the sugar and butter together.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking/beating all the time.
  • Fold in the self raising flour (sift if you like), the bananas and the buttons.
  • Transfer to the greased and lined tin, place in the oven and bake for 40 – 45 minutes until springy to the touch or a squewer comes out clean.
  • When cool, transfer to a cooling rack.

You can cut into squares and store in a tin once cold (it will keep better if you cut as required, should keep for a good 4 – 5 days, will also freeze well).
