HEALTHY BLUEBERRY AND BANANA CAKE
This is based on another recipe which I modified for our taste. It's very moist with a great banana flavour (as long as you use really overripe ones). Because there is not a lot of sugar, most of the sweetness comes from the bananas; it is not intended to be an overly sweet cake so please don't give this recipe a poor review simply because you are expecting it to be sweeter. Having said that, it still makes a really nice afternoon tea while being quite low in saturated fat for a cake and full of fruit. You can try adding more sugar if you like but of course then it won't be as healthy. :)

Steps:
- Set the oven to 140/120 c fan and grease your cake pan
- Melt the milk chocolate for the cake and pour into a circle (smaller than your pan) onto a baking sheet and freeze until set (1 hour)
- Whilst your chocolate is setting make the batter: cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
- Add the eggs one at a time then mix in the flour
- Now stir in the baking powder, vanilla and blueberries (dust the blueberries with flour so they don't sink to the bottom)
- In a seller are bowl mash the bananas with a fork and then add to the batter
- Mix in the white chocolate then cool in the fridge for the rest of the time your milk chocolate circle takes to set
- Pour half the batter into your cake pan and then place the chocolate circle on top
- Pour the rest of your batter on top of the circle and put into the oven
- Cook for 1 3/4 hours or until your cake tester comes out clean (if your mixture is very heavy or wet place some foil on top of the pan as it might start to burn whilst baking if it takes longer)
- Whilst cooling heat but DO NOT BOIL the measured double cream and pour over the remaining milk chocolate whilst hot
- Place a plate over the cream and chocolate and leave for ten minutes
- Stir the cream and chocolate until it forms a ganache and drizzle over your cake in any pattern (I chose zig zags)
- Vigorously whisk the remaining cream if using double until stiff peaks form, if using whipped slip to step 15
- Pipe or squirt your cream on top of the cake in little peaks around the sage then add a blueberry or banana slice if desired
Tips:
- Use overripe bananas. They add sweetness and moisture to the cake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- Use fresh blueberries. Frozen blueberries can be used, but they should be thawed before adding them to the batter.
- Dust the blueberries with flour before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
- Bake the cake in a loaf pan. A 9x5 inch loaf pan is ideal.
- Check the cake for doneness with a toothpick. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the cake to set and make it easier to slice.
