Spoil your family and friends with this amazingly moist chocolate cake topped with extra homemade caramel sauce.

 

METHOD:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, melt the butter in a hot pan until it turns nut brown, and pour the melted butter into a large bowl.
  2. Add the flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda or baking powder, sugars, maple syrup, eggs, bananas and milk and beat it into a smooth batter.
  3. Pour the batter into a lightly greased GreenPan Reserve Bakeware Round Cake Pan (24cm in diameter) and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes. Pierce with a cocktail stick to check whether the cake is cooked.
  4. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Transfer the cake to a grill and allow to cool completely.
  5. Make the ganache while the cake is cooling. Put the sour cream and chocolate into a large bowl and mix until smooth, then set aside.
  6. Smooth the ganache over the top of the cake, warm the caramel paste slightly, and use a spoon to spread the caramel over the cake.
  7. Smooth over with banana to your taste, and cut into heavy bite-sized pieces
