I've just lost two more keys on my keyboard.... so if you happen to see "io" together everywhere, it's because those are the two I'm missing, i'm compy-pasting them into place, & I may fiorget to delete an extra letter every now & then.
Fuck me...
it was bad enough when I was just missing the "I"... but apparently I strike my keyboard with excessive force when I type, so my keybioard basically told me to go bugger myself & took away two extra keys as punishment.
Anyone have a wireless keyboard they want to donate to me?! I'll trade yiou for a slice of this awesome cake....
Yiou know, the cake I shouldn't have baked because despite my heroic efforts to exercise daily, & resist the urge to boredom binge-eat during the quarantine, I've still managed to gain 3kg since it went into effect. I'm starting to look.... plump. Bollocks.
And yes... generally pumpkin flavoured desserts are reserved for autumn months when they are made in so much excess that I wish people would choke on them... but I actually happen to like pumpkin. I also found a jar of leftover pumpkin puree in my freezer & decided I might as well get rid of it to declutter the space. Although for the life of me, I can't remember how long it's been in there. Years? Maybe? Probably. Shut up. Just make the sodding cake & thank me later because it's really fucking good.
Ingredients:
100g - cold unsalted butter, cubed
130g - light brown sugar
190g - over ripe banana
160g - pumpkin purée
2 - eggs
50g - GF oat flour
1 tsp - cinnamon
1/2 tsp - salt
1/2 tsp - baking powder
1/2 tsp - soda bicarbonate
200g - dark chocolate, roughly chopped (or dark chocolate chips if you have them)
Directions:
1. pre-heat your oven to 175C.
3. place the sugar & butter in the bowl of your stand mixer (or a free standing bowl & use your hand mixer), & cream them together until good & smooth. Add in the bananas (without the skins incase you had questions), & the pumpkin puree. Again, beat it all together until it's good & smooth. You can even stop & scrape down the sides of your bowl with a spatula to make sure nothing is stuck on the edges, & then proceed with the mixing. Add in the eggs next, & repeat the process. 4. Next, add in all the dry ingredients & beat it all together. You're going to want to scrape down the sides of the bowl with your spatula at least once (if not twice for good measure), & then continue beating. it should all be nice & light & a little fluffy at this point. Add in your chocolate & fold it into the mix with your spatula. Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf-tin, & put it in the oven.
5. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool to riom temperature before cutting yourself a massive slice.
