Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.

- Peel 3 bananas and mash them in the other bowl with a fork.
- Cream the bananas into a smooth mixture and gradually add 2 eggs. Mix everything well.
- Add the contents of the first bowl to the second bowl.
- This is where muscle power comes in handy! Beat everything again until smooth.
- Coarsely chop the chocolate with a knife so that you get small chunks. Add the chocolate to the batter. You can also omit the chocolate.
- Grease the cake tin with a little butter. Use a piece of kitchen paper for this. Sprinkle a pinch of flour in the cake pan.
- Pour the batter from the bowl into the cake pan. Peel the last banana and cut it lengthwise. Carefully place the banana on top of the cake batter.
- Place the banana cake in the middle of the oven and bake for 30 minutes at 180°C.
- Does the top have a nice golden brown color? If so, the cake is ready! Let it cool for another 10 minutes before serving.
