Chocolate Banana Cupcakes

This is my own recipe. I did not copy this from anywhere or from someone. But I am not a professional baker, I just experimented on making this one and it  turned out okay, and delicious also. So I am not sure if there is something wrong with this one, all I know is that I love how it taste and my family loves it also. But also, this is the first time I did it with some chocolates. And again it turned out okay.

So, why am I sharing this recipe this one? Most of you would keep the recipe to yourself. But I believe in sharing, so I share this with all of you. And please tell me how it taste, or is there something that I need to add or change to make this recipe better.

Banana Cake Recipe
Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 3/4 or 1 cup sugar  - depends upon your choice, I usually use only 3/4 cups (a less sweeter.)
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup mashed banana
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 175 degree Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a meduim bowl mix the dry ingredients first, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
2. In a separate bowl mix the wet ones, mashed bananas, eggs, and milk. 
3. Then slowly add the dry ingredients to the mashed banana mix, using a whisk mix thoroughly and then add the melted butter. Do not over mix.
4. Now this time if you want to make it with chocolate swirl, separate about a half of the ingredients in another container, and mix the cocoa powder on one of the batter.  Note: With this picture I already pour almost all the white batter to the paper cups when I remember that I have to take some pictures   
   
   
   
5.  Now pour first the white batter into the paper cups, then the chocolate batter and using a fork mix it lightly making some chocolate swirls.
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Now if you are making this as cupcakes, bake this for about 13-15 minutes at 175 degrees Celsius. For a cake, bake this for about 30-35 minutes in the same temperature. Now if this is a cake use a regular 9 inch round pan or a regular rectangular pan about 6 or 8 inch.
7.  Let it cool before serving. Yeilds about 1 and a half dozen or 18 cupcakes. 
   

Enjoy baking and eating!
