Chocolate-Banana Cake..... I mean bread.... I mean cake, You decide!

I made this just on a whim, using one of my mom's recipe that was the first recipe I tried. It tasted like a chocolate muffin, with a gentle whiff of a banana. I made it gluten free. Here is what you need. 1 mushed banana 2 eggs 1/3 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla 3 tbsp oil 1/2 cup coco powder 1/3 cup gluten free flour 1 tbsp xanthum gum 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Preheat the Oven to 350 F I used an egg beater to beat the two eggs and mushed banana until they are frothy. Then added sugar, vanilla and beat for another minute. Then I added 3 tbsp of oil and beat that again until all of it became beautifully emulsified. Then I added the coco powder, flour, baking powder, xanthum gum through a sieve on top of the liquid concoction and folded everything with slow movements with spatula. I used my favorite one from "The Bay." :) We do that to add air to the batter so it fluffs up and is not dense. Add chocolate chips, mix in
