Lindt Chocolate And Banana Cake

Lindt Chocolate And Banana Cake

Posted 2015-04-27 by finyfollow

There are many banana cake recipes around, so to make this slightly different, I have added a 100g block of 70% Lindt chocolate slivers to the mixture, and another block in the icing.

I mostly use Lindt in cooking, as I find the expensive chocolate tastes far better in the finished product.

I used a square cake tin for this, but a round one will do also. I find it easier to take square or oblong pieces when I need to take cake to a function, which is why I cooked this cake.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 60 minutes
Makes: 10 servings

Ingredients
160ml milk
2 tsp lemon juice
150g butter, softened
220g coconut sugar
2 eggs
2 cups self raising flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 large ones)
100g 70% Lindt chocolate

FOR THE ICING:
100g Lindt 70% Chocolate
60g icing sugar
55g sour cream

Method
  • Either grate the chocolate, or cut it into very small pieces.


  • Preheat the oven to 150°C fan forced or 170°C, and line a 22 cm round or similar square pan with baking paper.

  • Combine the milk and lemon juice in a small jug, and stand for 10 minutes while you make the batter.

  • Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs gradually until just combined.

  • Stir in the sifted flour and bicarb of soda with a spoon, add the banana, and milk mixture.

  • Add the grated chocolate


  • Spread the mixture into the pan.


  • Bake for about 1 hour, or possibly slightly more if not set.


  • For the icing, melt the chocolate using your preferred method - I did it in the microwave. Gradually stir in the icing sugar and then the sour cream.


  • When the cake is cooked, spread the icing over it.


  • Slice and serve with tea or coffee.
