| Sprinkle with icing and are ready for sons' school teachers |
Every mid year my sons' school will have Parents/Teacher Conference. This time I bring along this chocolate banana, pumpkin cake and pandan kaya buns for the school teachers and staffs. I will share on the pandan kaya buns next time.
I am submitting this post for this month Aspiring Bakers #7 – Chocolate Delight (May 2011) hosted by DG from Tested and Tasted.

230g plain flour
30g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
