Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 stick plus 2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
2 ripe bananas, peeled
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
grated zest of 1/2 lemon
110 gm dark chocolate, chopped
2/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 160 degree Celsius and butter and flour an 10 1/2
x 4 x 2 1/2 inch loaf pan. Place the pan on 2 regular baking sheets and
keep aside.
2. Whisk together flour, salt, baking powder and nutmeg.
3. In a small bowl, mash the bananas with lemon juice and zest.
4. Melt the chocolate with 2 tbsp of butter together in a microwave
oven or on a double boiler.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer, until
pale and fluffy. Beat in both the sugars, for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition,
then beat in vanilla.
7. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add half of the flour mixture,
mixing until it is just incorporated.
8. With mixer running, pour in the milk and when it is blended, fold
in the remaining flour mixture.
9. Scrape down the bowl and mix in the mashed bananas.
10. Pour little less than half of the batter over cooled melted
chocolate and stir to blend.
11. Drop alternating spoonfuls of both the batters into the prepared
pan, then taking a table knife, swirl the batters together, taking care
not to overdo it.
12. Bake for 1 hour and 20 to 30 minutes with pan over baking sheets,
until the knife inserted into the cake comes out clean. If cake starts
to brown to much, cover loosely with a foil tent after 40 minutes of
baking.
13. Once done, transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let cool in pan
for about 15 minutes before unmolding, then cool the cake to room
temperature.
14. In a bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, coffee, yogurt, chocolate,
oil and vanilla, until well combined.
15. In an another bowl, sift flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda
and salt.
16. Add the flour mixture to wet mixture and whisk to make a smooth
batter.
17. Pour the batter into prepared pan and bake from 35-40 minutes,
until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean.
18. Let it cool in pan for 15 minutes and then invert on to wire rack
to let cool completely.
