French chocolate cake (Gateau au chocolat - with bananas?)



[UPDATED] Gateau au chocolat is the french chocolate cake that is more liquid in the center than a sponge cake. I started to make this cake for a friend that could not eat gluten and my kids loved it, so I keep doing it often :)
I update today this recipe by adding 2 sliced bananas and some cinnamon inside that I believe will add a sparkle to this recipe and change from the classic version. You can do the same by adding pears instead of bananas. Up to you ...
Once in a while, you have to play a bit with classic recipes, that's the fun with cooking :) 



Ingredients

200 gr of good dark chocolate

1 cup of sugar
125gr of butter
4 eggs
30 gr of all-purpose flour and 30 gr of corn flour (or 60gr corn flour for gluten-free)
1 baking powder
Extras : 2 bananas or pears and some cinnamon (all optional)

Procedure
Melt in the microwave oven the chocolate with the butter following the instructions of the chocolate.


Add the rest ingredients.

Mix well. If you want to add the optional ingredients, do it now and mix again.






Empty in a buttered 20 cm baking dish and bake at 170 degrees of Celsius for 20 min. Believe me, you will make a lot of happy people around you :)
