banana choc chip cupcakes

teruja nak buat cuppies ni after  my fb friend Kak Not aka Kak Rose Shahari Brown (who is Izwan Mira Mummy the lawyer's cousin) who lives up north in bonnie Scotland & whom I am yet to meet, uploaded this recipe on her fb wall.

I bought some bananas last weekend and had 2 left yesterday, over ripe and perfect for making banana cakes..the recipe is actually Mary Berry's, the baking guru. dead easy to make & very delish too..


For the cakes
  • 100g (4oz) butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 175g (6oz) caster sugar
  • 225g (8oz) self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 50g (2oz) chocolate chips
For the icing
  • 50g (2oz) dark chocolate , melted
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
♥ Measure the butter, eggs, caster sugar, flour, baking powder, milk and bananas into a bowl and beat together until combined and smooth. Mix in the chocolate chips.
♥ Spoon into the paper cases and bake for about 25 minutes until well risen, golden brown and shrinking away from the cases. Remove the cases from the tin and set aside to cool.
♥ Drizzle over the melted chocolate in a zigzag pattern using a small piping bag or teaspoon.
PREPARE AHEAD The cakes can be made up to a day ahead.
FREEZE They freeze well cooked for up to 3 months.
AGA Bake on the grid shelf on the floor of the roasting oven with the cold sheet on the second set of runners for 20-25 minutes.
