I recently bought too many bananas at the market and being a person who doesn't like over-ripe bananas, I just left it sitting in the fruit bowl while I opted for the not-so-ripe ones. I love bananas as long as they are NOT mushy! K thought I was wasting fruit so I decided to make something out of it... Banana Fritters was my first thought but I decided to bake a cake - its been ages since I made one ... So banana cake it was for afternoon tea
Super easy to put this together, you just need to have the patience to wait for 45mins or so to come out and then man it is AMAZING!
I love the crunch of the nuts, and the melted chocolate chips is just amazing ... If you don't like cinnamon, the flavour doesn't come out strong
Definitely an easy cake that you can whip up real fast and folks will be extremely impressed and will want to eat more than a slice! :)

Welcome to my Blog The Eaterspot. My blogging journey began in March 2010. I had just relocated from the US, and living in Wellington, New Zealand was definitely a whole lot different from the US. The day after I landed here, I began a full time job, but I still had a whole lot of free time after 5pm. I was cooking a lot of new dishes from various cuisines so the blog was born to document my cooking for my friends and family to follow what we are upto as a newly married couple and to see what we were eating!Thanks for visting my spot!
