I cheated a little with the first post of the year since it was 11pm by the time I thought of this project and I actually spent the entire day eating YESTERDAY's project. It's a chocolate-Nutella-banana cake.

The cake dough is a favorited recipe from my grandma-in-law but I tweaked the insides!

Such a super and easy cake! Although I recommend eating it ASAP - doesn't seem to last past 2 days unless you pick the bananas out. 

2/3 cup cocoa
2-1/4 cup flour
2 cups sugar
1-1/2 tsp each: baking powder, baking soda, instant coffee
3/4 tsp salt
mix it all up and add:

1-1/2 cup orange juice or water
3 eggs
Then add 1-1/4 cup of oil over the span of 45 seconds as you mix it.
Bake at 350 for 40 min and voila. Cut it up into however many layers you want, spread with a thin layer of Nutella, cover in a layer of banana slices, and whip up 2 cups of whipped cream with 2 tablespoons sugar or to taste.

DELISH.
