Sticky banana, caramel and chocolate loaf cake
Ingredients
- 2 bananas
- 3 tbsp milk
- 75g salted butter
- 150g plain flour
- 150g caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

- Caramel sauce, I use the type in a squeeze bottle!
- For drizzle:
- 50g dark chocolate
- Splash of milk
Method
- Preheat the oven 160C
- Grease and line a loaf tin with non-stick baking parchment
- Use a fork to mash the peeled banana in a mixing bowl, if less ripe add the milk at this point to make mashing easier
- Add the remaining cake ingredients (except the chocolate) and beat
- Stir in the chocolate chips and a squeeze of caramel sauce
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf tin
- Level the top and add another squiggle of caramel sauce on top
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until well risen, shrinking away from the sides of the tin and golden-brown
- Set aside to cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the tin and leave to cool on a wire rack
- For the decoration, break up the chocolate, add the milk and let the chocolate melt over a ban Marie or on a low heat in the microwave
- Drizzle over the cake with a spoon or using a piping have
- Add any decorations you want extra
- Tuck in!
