Some of my most surprising baking projects come from taking stock of what's in my pantry and then Googling the ingredients to see if a recipe exists using them all. This past week that happened when I realized I had cocoa, bananas and almond meal that I wanted to use up. Lo and behold
I found a cake using these ingredients. So I made it! My one tweak was to throw in a 1/4 cup of brown sugar - I only had a little brown sugar left and wanted to use that up, too. I like this recipe because there is no white sugar or flour in it, so it seems "healthy." Result: a pleasantly bitter, barely sweet chocolate cake with a faint banana taste to it. It was good. If I make this again I might completely eliminate the brown sugar, and maybe throw in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to make it a little more decadent.
Thumbs up.
