Double Chocolate Banana Bread (Bake 1)
Don’t I just love the sound of DOUBLE chocolate? I guess it did not really matter what came after the chocolate but it was a great bonus that it was banana. I enjoy my banana bread so adding double chocolate to it made me a happy lady. I made this once and was sold. I also brought it to a going away party for one of my colleagues and I got quite a number of compliments and many asked if they could carry some home. What I loved most about this cake was how fudgy and moist it is. The flavour is mostly chocolate with a good burst of bananas. It’s divine, heaven in your mouth. I doubt I’ll ever make plain banana cake again. This recipe is definitely a keeper. This is my 1st post this year on the 30 bakes in 2013 so 29 more to go. Wish me luck 🙂 HAPPY BAKING!!

Easy (one bowl) Chocolate Cake

Easy (one bowl) Chocolate cake A few years back when I really frustrated I went home and decided to bake. I did not have many ingredients so I took what was available out of the pantry and decided to Google for some recipes for cake. I came across an easy chocolate cake and I really liked it. Truth be told that was also the day I begun to realize how therapeutic baking is. Well since then I have tried many other recipes all revolving around more or less the same ingredients but when I tried this one from All Recipes and I was in love. They have quite a number of them there but try this one first then the others. You will not be disappointed. From the photos above you can tell that I was not able to get a picture of the whole cake. First time I made it I decided to share it with my friends so as to distribute the calories 🙂 by the time I thought that I should take a photo more than half the cake was gone. On the second Instance one of the friend I gave the cake to loved it so much that she asked me to make it for a bridal shower and I sliced it up before realizing I should have taken a photo! All in All photos or no photo this cake is great you will not be disappointed if you try it. HAPPY BAKING!
