Whole wheat double chocolate banana cake

This is a simple cake that can be baked with the ingredients easily available at home. Usually I bake chocolate cake which is a favorite for my kids at home. This time I added banana to it to add extra moist and soft cake.


How to bake:

1. Peel bananas and cut into small cubes. 


2. In a mixie jar, add sugar and cubed bananas and blend together to form a smooth batter.


3.  In a mixing bowl, add the banana-sugar mixture. To this add coconut oil, vinegar and vanilla and mix well until oil is well combined with other ingredients. 




4. In an another mixing bowl, place a sieve, add whole wheat flour, corn flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sieve it well so that no lumps are there in your dry ingredients. 



5. Mix wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix them well. Don't over mix. Add water and mix them thoroughly.


6. Prepare a pan either by greasing the pan or just lining with parchment paper all sides. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan.


7. Add chocolate chips on the top.  Bake it in a preheated oven at 350F/180C for 35 min. Check out whether it is baked or not by a toothpick test. If inserted in the center comes out clean, it is done. Remove from the oven and cool completely before slicing.
