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 well and then pour the batter in a non sick baking pan.

Bake for 25-30 mins. Do the tooth pick check around 25 mins.

Viola, Enjoy.

I was in third grade, and we were sitiing in peshawer AC flats and were having lunch in our long two doorway dining room. The table cloth was striped yellow, blue and white. My mom served us spinach and like any other kid i started playing with a little left over. I would squeeze it in my hand and drink the broth that would come out. I did not have spinach for 6 years after that incident . Then one day, my mom cooked Palak chicken for a party and i had some with white rice and some plain yougurt. I re-discovered the yummiest vegetable known to me! I cooked today thinking how easy it is nowadays to cook palak. FrozenPackets of vegetables make our lives so easy. I started with half a cup sliced red onion with 2 table spoons of oil in a pan. Then i made 2 tsps of ginger and garlic paste (mush it up) and added to the onion when they turned light brown on medium high heat.
