To be precise, this is a banana, dates, chocolate chips with walnut topping cupcake with Lindt dark chocolate butter ganache. The name is so long, so used short form for title.
The original cake was a tea-time loaf cake, my sis baked this a few months before and I thought it's a good banana cake recipe. So, instead of using my usual butter cake and making them into banana cake, I used this banana cake recipe.

The icing is a dark chocolate butter ganache.

The decoration for the cupcake, I made some "banana disk", inspired by this blog. It's called the caramelized banana disk, which I might call them "fried" bananas.

Thank u LGM! A supportive taster aka blog ed. I tried a bite of the cupcake this morning, I think maybe the cakes are better off without the walnut. Too much "distraction" towards the cupcake till it's not focused - the highlight is no longer banana.
Dear Dear.... Anything will do la.. I am not that picky, am I? Same same as PT la, I take whatever you baked.. "P
Icing.. Sure, cox it is choc!!!
hehe... Looking forward for the choc to lift up my mood.. Then again.. Tougher tracks to burn that off?
Haiyo Carebear, dun use the choc as an excuse to torture us k. U will do tough tracks regardless what one lah... i'm sure we all are so longing for some serious torturing, haha... sound crazy!
Where is mine?????????

I need another banana cupcake recipe. Actually, yes, I WILL settle with a muffin recipe, without the icing... soon soon. Take a break from banana cake first.
I shall get straight to the pros and cons
Cons
1. banana not ripe enuff (next time add banana essence?? lolz)
2. too many ingredients in the cupcakes/muffin (eh... like that kennot do biz one laaa)
Pro
1. packing was really nice. So tempted to keep the box... Got sticker summo...
2. not oily
3. not too sweet
4. love the texture (kinda like melts in your mouth)
Will remind u when u announce when u doing another round of banana cupcake/muffin.
Sekian maklum.
