    This is Akshara’s second month completion cake. For this month I chose to bake a cake starting with letter ‘B’. So I decided on making a cake with banana with the flavors from chocolate and coffee with butter icing. Happy second month completion Akshara J JJJ JJJ JJJ J JJJ

 I followed the recipe of Starbuck’s Banana chocolate cake.

   As this cake is eggless adding mashed banana gives soft and fluffiness to the cake. I used the banana from our farm.

Ingredients:

Banana – 3 no’s

All purpose flour – 3 cup

Corn flour – 3 tbs

Baking powder – 1 tbs

Lemon juice – 3- 5 drops

Sugar – 2 cup

Melted butter – 5 tbs

Chocolate chip – 1 cup

Cocoa powder – 1 tbs

Instant Coffee powder – 1 tbs

Vanilla essence – 1 tsp

Fresh Curd – ¾ cup

For Icing :

 Butter – 4 – 5 tbs

Icing sugar – 1 cup

Vanilla essence – 1 tsp

Sliced kiwi – 3

Chocolate chips

Method :

  Mash the banana well.

Shift the flour, coffee powder, cocoa powder and baking powder together, twice.

To the mashed banana add the sugar, curd and mix well.

Add in the vanilla essence, chocolate chips and melted butter, mix well.

Now add flour little by little and mix in same direction.

Add the lemon drops and mix once.

Grease the mould and pour the batter.

 I used star shaped mould.

Bake in the preheated oven @ 200* C for 30 minutes or till the inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool down.

 In the mean time, mix the icing sugar with the butter and mix well.

Add in the essence and mix well.

Keep in refrigerator to condense.

When the cake is cool down, keep the cake in half an hour in the refrigerator before icing.

I applied the icing on the top , placed the sliced kiwi on the center along with chocolate chips.

 I refrigerated again and take out 15 minutes before cake cutting. My mom cuts the cake for Akshara.

 The cake was so delicious and fluffy with the chocolate and coffee flavor.
