Chocolate Banana Pound Cake 巧克力香蕉磅蛋糕

When I was reading a cookbook, I saw this  chocolate pound cake recipe that contains of banana, chocolate chips and walnuts, I know this must be a nice cake. And this cake really not disappointed me..

 

This was my first time follow an extra step when making a pound cake or butter cake, made a cut at the centre,, not that difficult actually...

I made into two slim pound cake tin, ngam ngam hor (just nice), one for myself and another one sent to my sister ^_^..

 

Even though this pound cake texture was not super moist (i guess due to corn flour is added ) , but this pound cake tasted chocolaty, not greasy, love the bite of nuts, banana and chocolate chips..another good keeper..
