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 1
Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C fan/ gas 6, and grease a 2lb loaf tin then dust with flour and set to the side
STEP 2
Start 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 3
Add 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 4
Next, 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 5
Take 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 :)
