- Easy
- Makes around 10 slices
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas (one for a garnish)
- 60ml vegetable oil
- 240ml self raising flour
- 100g soft brown sugar
- 60g dark brown muscavado sugar
- 50ml plant milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 100g dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- a pinch of salt
Method
- STEP 1Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C fan/ gas 6, and grease a 2lb loaf tin then dust with flour and set to the side
- STEP 2Start by squishing the bananas with a fork to make sure there aren’t any big lumps, then add the sugar, oil, and vanilla - beat this with a whisk/ electric mixer until smooth
- STEP 3Add the bicarb, cinnamon, and salt to the flour and gradually sift in 2-3 tbsp at a time and beat in - once it gets a bit too thick for the whisk add a splash of the milk to loosen it and continue to sift in the flour until its all combined
- STEP 4Next, with a wooden spoon, fold in the chocolate chips then pour the batter into the loaf tin. Bake for 40 mins then cover with tin foil and continue baking for 20-30 mins (or until a knife comes out clean, though expect some melted chocolate)
- STEP 5Take out of the oven and allow to cool before taking the cake out of the tin and putting on a cooling rack to cool further - unless you want a slice while it's still hot :)
