Hello my friends!
I got all ingredients, so it's time to bake my first cake for Eustachia's Cosmopolitan CookBook.
First i gotta write the recipe into the book. It will be a Banana-Condiment-Cake! Very tasty!
Okay, we need 300 gramms of flour. You can use flour from the supermarket, but i prefer fresh grounded flour.
Wooohoooo!
Okay, let's put the flour beside, because first of all i mix the butter with sugar.
Then i add 3 eggs, one by one.
Next step is to mix the flour with baking soda..
..baking powder..
..and Gingerbread-condiment.
I mix it all up..
and put it into the butter-sugar-egg-thing and mix it. 
Now we need some baking chocolate.
You can rasp it with a knife, but the easier way is to use a rasp like this one 
Yeeaaah!
Next thing we put into our dough are 3-4 bananas.
You can mash them with a fork like this...
But hey.. you know me 
i got this cool rasp, so let's put the bananas into it!
Wooohooo.. much easier and faster
Now i have to mix all together
And finally we need 2 teaspoons of cocoa for our dough.
Now i butter my cake pan with margarine and put some flour on it
Then the dough...
and i bake it at 160°C (circulating air) for 55 minutes. The recipe says 60 minutes, but i think its better to take a look at the cake some minutes earlier.. to check out if it is already finished.
After this time i check the cake with a toothpick. If there is no dough at the toothpick, the cake is finshed. But.. hhmmmm.. i think it not ready yet. Let's give him some more minutes...
Okay, now the cake is done.
Hmm, but he wont come out of his cake pan... Maybe a cold watered flannel will help..
Oh no.. nooooooo! You cannot believe what happened.. the cake felt out of his cake pan.. but only one half. 
Oh my god.. what to do now? I tried to make the best of a bad job..
Tattaaa!
I know it isn't looking very good, but hey.. i can handle this with some chocolate!
And i put some smarties on it, to detract from this horrible looking cake. Hahaha 
Finished!
Well, i think it looks great therefore, that i had so much trouble with this cake What do you think?
And it is sooo yummy!
Don't be afraid of this recipe. Usually the cake is very easy to bake and Eustachia told me, that she never had any trouble like this. But you know about moments like this. There is a camera and everything goes wrong! 
I hope you enjoyed my first recipe-story... and more will follow! I promise!
Yours
