First, make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Position a rack in the center of the oven.
Grease and flour a large cake pan with a 10-cup capacity.
Combine the milk and white vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter in a large mixing bowl on medium speed until creamy.
Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Beat for about 20 seconds until combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for about one minute after each addition. Add the milk mixture and beat for another 20 seconds.
Gradually fold the flour mixture into the batter. Add the chocolate chunks or chips, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and gently stir with a wooden spoon until everything is well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If you hit a melted chocolate chunk, test another spot to make sure the bread is fully baked.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully invert onto a wire rack and allow to cool.
