Method
- STEP 1Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

- STEP 3In a separate mug whisk two eggs together and add to the mixture.
- STEP 4Fold in the flour and baking powder.
- STEP 5Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat and add the cocoa powder.
- STEP 6Pour the chocolate mixture into a separate bowl with the sugar in and mix well.
- STEP 7Add another two whisked eggs and mix. Fold in the flour and baking powder.
- STEP 8Put one spoonful of chocolate mixture into a 20cm deep round tin then a spoonful of banana in next to it. Repeat multiple times until all the mixture is in the tin. You should now have a spotty pattern. Take a metal skewer and draw figure-eights in the mixture. It should now have a marbled look.
- STEP 9Cook in a gas mark 5 / 170c fan preheated oven for 45 minutes or until golden and a skewer comes out clean.
- STEP 10When cooled sprinkle with banana chips and / or cocoa powder.
