I halves the recipe (cause i only have 4 medium bananas - i use em all). I only use 150gr of sugar and use dark chocolate chip, but its sweet enough for me. The end result is not as smooth though (it has lots of cracks) but the taste is superb! It was moist and you could actually taste the banana and the chocolate. Divine. Would make it again soon. But if your oven is fan forced, i recommend putting it on 160C on lower rack (coz mine burnt a bit on top, and i have to lower it to 130C for the last 30mnts and move it to the lower rack).

Really Really Good recipe.. I'm out of nutmeg, so i just omit them, and i substitute the shortening with butter, which i think makes it more moist. At first i was worry coz the batter seems a bit thin (coz i shredded the apples), but after they were baked, wow, what a smell, what a taste! Got perfect crunch on top and super moist inside. Just make sure u don't burnt them, i turn down the tempt to 330 after the first 15mnts, required 20mnts more in my oven.

Overall a very good and moist cake.. Mine takes 75mnts to bake, but i guess that happened due to excess banana in it, haha.. I love banana, so i use 4big ones and i sub half of the oil with applesauce and cut the sugar to 1and1/2cup coz the pineapple has heavy syrup. And the coconut gave a very interesting texture - which i love.
