Description

A lovely moist banana loaf cake with chocolate chunks and a hint of cinnamon.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 3 overripe bananas
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 50 g soft light brown sugar
  • 225 g self-raising flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 110 ml vegetable oil
  • 100 g milk chocolate chips (or 100g of chocolate squares smashed up)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180℃ / fan 160℃ / 350℉.
  2. Mash the bananas and mix together with both sugars.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well – you should have a fairly thick cake batter.
  4. Line a 2lb loaf tin with baking paper and pour in the mix. Gently bang the bottom of the tin on a flat surface to spread the mixture evenly in the tin.
  5. Bake for 50 mins until the top is just firm to the touch (SEE NOTES SECTION)
  6. Cool in the tin for about 15 mins and then transfer carefully to a cooling rack.

Notes

  1. This is a very moist loaf cake and will appear a little undercooked after 50 mins. This will just give you a delicious moist banana cake with bits of melted chocolate in the middle.
  2. Try swapping the chocolate for raisins or sultanas!
