Ingredients
- 1¼ cup Whole wheat flour (160 grams)
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (30 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt

- ⅓ cup oil (90 ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
