Banana Loaf Cake

You can never go wrong with a tender banana loaf where dark chocolate finds its way into every bite - Simple, nostalgic, and comforting in the colder seasons.

Here's a quick and easy recipe to make your own, all in one bowl!

• 1 egg

• 100g Chocolate chips

• 1 and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 100g light brown sugar

• 3 medium bananas

Method:

• Mash 3 medium bananas in a bowl, (can ripen by cooking in an oven with skin on until dark)

• Add egg

• Add melted butter

• hand Whisk until smooth

• Add sugar and cinnamon then mix

• Siv in the flour and mix until well combined.

• Mix in chocolate chips (dont forget to leave some for topping)

• Pour banana mix into lined/greased 2lb loaf tin

• Bake at 175 for 45 mins

Best enjoyed warm with a cup of tea - or, if you’re in the mood to truly satisfy that sweet tooth, pair your slice of comfort with a scoop of Carte D’or Salted Caramel ice cream (though any good caramel or vanilla will do).

And yes, this one was quite literally enjoyed with a cup of tea for today (pun very much intended).

Enjoy!
