- 290 g Banana ripe
- 75 ml Vegetable/ coconut oil
- 180 g Soft light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon Baking powder
- 195 g Plain white flour
For the chocolate ganache frosting
- 200 g Chocolate melted
- 75 g Chocolate hazelnut spread
- 75 g Peanut butter
Pre-heat your oven to 180°C/ 356°F. Grease an 8 inch baking tin with a small amount of butter and baking paper on the bottom. I use a tin with a removable bottom.
Smash your bananas up as much as you can, forming a banana paste. You could use a fork for this, or an easier option is to just use a food processor (it makes this way quicker). Add the oil, sugar, baking soda + baking powder and flour to the bowl, in that order. Mix together between each ingredient addition.
Put your banana bread mixture into you greased baking tin. Bake the banana bread for 30 minutes, or until a fork comes out of the middle clean.
Once your banana bread is cool, make your frosting.
In an electric standing whisk, mix your melted chocolate, peanut butter and chocolate hazelnut spread. Mix until all combined. Then chill for 45 minutes, or until slightly firmer and easy to spread on the banana bread.
Spread the frosting on top of the cake. Add chopped banana and raspberries to the top!
