1) Preheat the oven to 170C / 150C fan.

2) Make the cake batter. Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl and all the wet ingredients, but the banana, in another bowl.

3) Mix the dry ingredients together with the wet ingredients, then mash the banana and add it to the batter. Mix again.

4) Fill in the cakesicle moulds and bake the cakes in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. (Please note, the baking time depends on the size of the moulds. Please refer to the instructions on the actual cake moulds. If you don’t have the cakesicle moulds, you can bake the cake batter in a loaf tin for about 20 minutes. The cake loaf then needs to be sliced into rectangle shaped pieces.) For the doneness, perform a skewer test. Insert a clean skewer in the middle of the cakes. If the skewer comes out clean, the cakes are baked. If not, put the cakes back in the oven for a couple more minutes and then test them again.

4) Make the chocolate glaze. Put the butter and the whipping cream in a heatproof bowl, then place the bowl in a microwave for 40 seconds. Remove the bowl from the microwave, add the chocolate and keep stirring until the chocolate melts.

5) Dip the tip of the cakesicle sticks into the melted chocolate, then gently insert them into the baked cakesicles. This will ensure that the sticks are firmly in place and won’t fall out when the cakesicles are being eaten.)

6) Dip the cakesicles into the melted chocolate, then decorate to your taste. Place the cakesicles in the fridge for the chocolate to harden, then serve. Enjoy!
