Banana Choco Hazelnut Cake

Banana Choco Hazelnut Cake

I made this cake to celebrate the September birthdays at work. It is banana choco hazelnut cake, banana cake with chocolate ganache and Nutella SMBC. I added praline hazelnuts around the base and topped it with candied hazelnuts. It was my first time making the candied hazelnuts and the recipe suggested making them within’ hours of using them. That wasn’t an option for me, I had to make them the night before and so with the damp weather my nice long strands of sugar melted some overnight and were much shorter by the time we ate the cake :-( While I was disappointed by it, they looked much more dramatic before melting, everyone was impressed with both the look and taste of the cake. Many said it was their new favorite.

Thank you June, Calli, Monikine, Alicia and Karen. It is very tasty and I think worth trying!!

I found the recipe online, it’s not something I came up with. The original recipe only says to use three bananas, no cup equivalent. The first time I made it I found it didn’t turn out great as my bananas were quite large and I think it was just too much for the cake. I then tried a different banana cake recipe that had a cup amount for the bananas and it is great and deserving of it’s name of “Best Banana Cake”! The cakes bake nice and even and I don’t even bother to level them. If anyone would like to try it for themselves:
