To all my chocolate lovers out there, the cake is dedicated to you

Ingredients
 

  • 3 cups flour
  • 200 g. / 7 oz. butter
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 11/2 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • ½ cup milk + 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 3 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 150 g. /5 oz. semisweet chocolate or milk chocolate chunks or chips or even a mix of both

For the chocolate ganache:

  • 100 g. /5 oz. semisweet chocolate
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon butter

Instructions
 

  • First off, make sure that all ingredients are at room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 18°C/350°F. Place a rack in the center of the oven.
  • Butter and flour a large cake tin with capacity of 10 cups of water.
  • Mix together the milk and white vinegar. Set aside.
  • Combine together, in a bowl, the flour, salt, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter in a bowl on medium speed until it becomes creamy.
  • Add the sugar, vanilla extract and mashed bananas and beat for 20 seconds.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and beat for one minute. Add the milk mixture and beat for 20 seconds.
  • Fold in the flour mixture over the batter. Add the chocolate chunks or chips, scrape down the edges of the bowl, and stir well with a wooden spoon to fully integrate the batter.
  • Pour the batter onto the cake tin.
  • Bake for 1hour 15 minutes or until you insert a skewer in the center of the cake and it comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack.

Now prepare the ganache:

  • Place the chocolate, heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat. While whisking, bring to a boil. Whisk more ending up with a shiny chocolate glaze. Set aside to cool down a bit and drizzle evenly over the chocolate banana bread!
