Banana choco chips with caramel swiss buttercream

What do you do if you have heaps of Bananas left over that turn into brown skin??? FREEZE THEM... Then make banana cakes or cupcakes. Don't waste it because they can be reusable and will turn into the yummiest cake or cupcakes like I do :)  So, I am very kind to share my recipes to you to make. I hope you enjoy them because I really do!!!




Preheat the oven 180 C or 350 F degrees. Can be used in 2 round 8' inch pan.

Ingredients:
For The Cake or cupcakes -

12 tablespoon of smoothen butter
1 cup of granulated sugar or caster sugar
2 large Eggs in Room Temperature
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
3 Frozen Bananas
2 1/4 cup Cake flour or Plain Flour (270g)
1 teaspoon of baking soda
A pinch of salt
6 tablespoon of Sour Cream or Buttermilk of your choice.
1/2 Cup of chocolate chip

For the frosting:
Use our recipe of Half of the ingredients on (Swiss Buttercream) can be found from our previous blogger please browse in our search engine.
Then,Add your 1/2 cup of caramel sauce then combine.
Sprinkles some of the cinnamon powder.


  1. In your Electric Mixer  - Cream the Butter and Sugar until very light and fluffy.
  2. Combine the eggs and vanilla extract. Then slowly add one at the time to the creaming mixture. Tips: When adding eggs make sure you put one first then wait until they are incorporated to avoid curdling DO NOT PUT ALL THE EGGS at one mixture. Follow my instruction so you don't break the mixture. Do not panic when putting eggs to the creaming method will create curdling let it mix to your electric mixer until its all incorporated.
  3. Stop the mixer and scrape the side of the bowl then mixed.
  4. Once it has all been incorporated, you can add 1/2 of the sifted dry mixture which consist of cake flour, baking soda and salt.
  5. Mix well and scrape the side of the bowl before adding half of the mashed banana and your choice of  sour cream or buttermilk.
  6. Last add the remaining dry mixture and mix just until combined. Then add the remaining banana/ sour cream  mixture. Add your 1/2 cup choco chips then mixed well until they are incorporated.
  7. Pour it to your 8' inch pan or muffin tray will make 18 pieces.
  8. Bake it for 30-35 mins or UNTIL ITS DONE!!!
HAPPY BAKING TO ALL!!! ENJOY
