Aspiring Bakers #7: Chocolate-Bottom Banana Squares

Jumped on the bandwagon a bit later than others again? Hehehe. So many bloggers raved about the recipe and after trying out myself, I have to agree with them. The recipe is definitely a keeper.

I reduced the chocolate for this round since my family had been eating a lot of chocolate/chocolate cake lately.

Chocolate-Bottom Banana Squares
Recipe adapted from Small Small Baker

Ingredients:
110 g
Butter, room temperature
60 g
Sugar
1
Egg, lightly beaten
 1 tsp

200 g
Bananas, mashed
(about 3 medium-sized)
180 g
Cake flour
1 tsp
Baking powder
1 tsp
Baking soda
½ tsp
Salt
1 tbsp
Cocoa powder
Chocolate chips for topping

Method:
1.      Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and baking soda together. Set it aside.
2.      Gently beat the egg and add in the vanilla extract. Set aside.
3.      Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4.      Add in the egg mixture slowly then, add the mashed bananas. Beat till creamy.
5.      Fold in the sifted flour in 3 separate batches. Mix well with a spatula.
6.      Pour out 1/3 of the batter and mix with cocoa powder.

9.      Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
10.  Bake in preheated oven at 180°C for 25-30 minutes.
