1. Cut the bananas in half and grind them to a paste by adding little bit of milk. Don't make the paste too watery.
2. Mix all purpose flour, baking soda and sugar in a big bowl. Some recipes instruct you to sieve the mixture to avoid lumps,but don't bother.

11. After taking the pan out, let the cake cool for 10 mins.
12. Spread nutella or melted chocolate on top to make it yummier.
13. Before you serve, microwave the cake for 15 seconds to melt the nutella spread.
