Eggless Chocolate Banana Bread/Cake

I bake when I feel low , I bake when I wish to break a routine , I bake when I feel like it is time for a sweet treat ,I bake when I miss the aroma of freshly baked bread or cake or muffins filling up my home and making it all the more beautiful .......Baking is my way to tap the creativity in me and dish out something that can be a treat to the senses for one and all....

While speaking to my brother , he confessed how tempted he is to try the cakes and muffins that I bake. When I was with my parents ,I seldom entered the kitchen , baking was a distant possibility then ! My brother often teases me for not making anything for him while I was single and with them , I too regret sometimes but I try to make up for it by dishing out a delicacy once in a while ,while I am at my parent's place in Ahmedabad.

My brother particularly is fond of Banana mixed with Chocolate , He likes his desserts not too sweet but fragrant and well flavored. I hence thought I must bake his favorite cake and see if the cake turns out good enough. This was a trial one since we both are currently in different countries ,however this recipe serves as a great reference for my future bakes , this I am sure would be hugely helpful to you too...Let me know how this comes out for you ! Meanwhile I too shall keep my fingers crossee and hopes pinned on my brother and his response to this delicious , moist , chocolatey banana cake ...

Here is the recipe , Before I begin the recipe , here are my two cents

1.It is good to sieve the dry ingredients 3-4 times , I sieve them for 5 times , I think 5 is my lucky number !
2.Add the Yoghurt and the Vinegar in the condensed milk , after you have poured out the condensed milk. Let this settle for about 5 minutes and stir it well , this shall ensure that the condensed milk tin is scraped out well , lesser wastage and better in taste !
