This small banana chocolate dome cake is pretty, and really nice to pack into a little gift box as an edible Christmas gift for your loved ones. The cake is not only rich and moist, but it also quick to prepare and finish off with ganache frosting. You can keep it refrigerated for about 3 days, and it stays fresh. Definitely a perfect dessert to enjoy when ending off a festive meal, or for any special occasion.
I’m also very happy that this recipe is featuring in the Gourmet Living Magazine Dec 2016/Jan 2017 issue, which is now available at all bookstores and newsstand in Singapore. At the same time, I’m giving away one copy each of the magazine and a keepsake teaspoon to 4 lucky winners (internationally).
