Anshu's Food Odyssey

Hey Folks, how have you all been? First of all, my apologies for being away for a long time. Truly speaking, I had missed this space to the core of my heart and it feels so good to be back again. Hopefully, I'll be posting new recipes for you all regularly now...fingers crossed!! So, to start with, here's this super moist and delicious Banana Chocolate Cake that I baked yesterday after a long hiatus. I had some overripe bananas lying in my pantry so just thought of putting them to a good use by baking this utterly yummy cake. Frankly speaking, I am not so fond of bananas but, this cake with a combination of bananas and chocolate is something that I am truly a fan of.

Being an ardent tea cake lover, baking a warm aromatic tea cake with this beautiful Kehwa Tea was something that struck me instantly. The cake came out absolutely wonderful and got over in just under an hour. Still have a packet le...
