I refined this recipe to suit my 'chocoholic' Type Two Diabetic husband. 1 cup noshu sugar free chocolate baking chips (125g packet) 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup sugar skim milk instead of buttermilk (will try natural yoghurt next time) Baked in a 20cm X 5cm round baking tin He said, "I want this cake for my birthday every year". He'll be 81 in August 2020

Was missing a banana but made this anyway - great tasty cake! Didn't add any walnuts (allergies) - this is a perfect cake for somebody who has a sweet tooth! :yummy:! Added some banana flavouring I had and used mini chocolate chips. Next time would cut down on the sugar (to save a few calories!! ;). Thanks Bev! :)
