Chocolate banana cake 2

Method of preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 200°. Grease two 10-inch round cake molds, line with parchment paper; grease paper with one stick unsalted butter.

Making the banana cake:
  1. In mixing bowl add butter and sugar; beat using electric mixer until fluffy, about 5 to 7 minutes. One at a time add the eggs. Beat after each addition, until the mixture is well combined. In this mixture add baking powder, bicarbonate soda (baking soda) and kosher salt.
  2. Add the previously mashed bananas, reduce the speed of the electric mixer to medium and continue beating until you incorporate the bananas in mixture. Add milk and flour and mix until mixture is smooth enough.
  3. When you've prepared the complete mixture, prepare the cake molds, i.e. spoon butter in both. 
  4. Bake banana cake layers until they are springy to touch, for about 40 minutes up to one hour maximum (it depends on the oven you’re using). When layers are baked cool them in molds on a rack for 20 minutes, and after that turn out the molds and let the layers cool completely. 
Meanwhile prepare the frosting:
  1. In medium saucepot, add cream, sugar and corn syrup, bring them to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for approximately 10 minutes. 
  2. Remove mixture from heat and add chocolate, banana extract and butter; stir until completely smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and salt and then pour mixture into a medium bowl set in a larger bowl of ice water.
  3. Beat fudge with a handheld electric mixer until it's shiny and thick.
  4. Set 1 cake layer to a dessert serving platter. Frost the first layer with 2 cups fudgy chocolate frosting, then top with second layer and spread remaining chocolate and banana frosting over top and sides of the banana cake.
