There were few bananas sitting on my counter which has become over ripe and quickly approaching rotten and I knew I needed to find a use for them. I wanted to bake something other than the classic banana bread or cakes. Since I also had freshly homemade caramel sauce I decided to mix it up and pair the banana with chocolate and caramel sauce.

HERE’S A STEP BY STEP PICTORIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE CHOCOLATE BANANA CARAMEL CAKE:
Preheat oven at 180° C for 10 minutes. Grease cake tin with oil or butter and line with parchment paper. You can dust flour if your dont have parchment paper.

Mash banana with fork and keep aside. I used 2 large ripe bananas.

In a mixing bowl add in the milk and vinegar. Mix well, cover and keep aside for 5-10 minutes. After a while your milk will curdle and become butter. Stir well and use them.

In a mixing bowl place a sieve and add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Sift them and once sifted mix well to combine.

Onto the buttermilk now add in the sugar, mashed banana, oil, caramel sauce and vanilla essence. Mix well to combine and allow sugar to dissolve.

Stir in the sifted flour mixture and gently fold them to make a smooth lumps free batter.
Pour the batter onto the prepared pan and tap the cake tin to release any air bubbles inside.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
Bake the cake at a preheated oven with both the filaments on @180° C for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Baking time will vary depending on your oven temperature and settings.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow to stand for 5-10 minutes.
Demould the cake and allow to cool down completely.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cake. I poured the caramel sauce in a piping bag and let it drizzle all through the cake.

This cake can stay good for 2-3 days in the counter. You can refrigerate for upto 1 week in an airtight container. You can also freeze this cake in the freezer for upto 3 months.
