Double Chocolate Banana Loaf Cake

This double chocolate banana loaf is my best recipe for chocolate cake. It’s light, fluffy and moist with the richest chocolatey flavour.

Ingredients

  • 170g self-raising flour
  • 40g cocoa powder unsweetened
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 60g unsalted butter
  • 65ml vegetable oil
  • 120g soft brown sugar
  • 55g caster sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 large bananas over ripened
  • 150g greek yoghurt
  • 200g chocolate chips dark/milk or a combination of both

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to gas mark 3½/170oC/ 340oF and line a 2lb/900g loaf tin with parchment paper. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder and salt then the bowl set aside. 
  • In a microwaveable bowl, melt the butter at 40 second increments until fully melted. Pour the melted butter into a mixing bowl and also pour in the oil. Add in both sugars and mix until smooth. Mix in the vanilla and eggs then mix in the mashed bananas and yoghurt.
  • Pour in the dry ingredients set aside earlier then add and mix in the chocolate chips but leave a few to add to the top. Pour the chocolate batter into the loaf tin and sprinkle the left-over chocolate chips on top. Bake in the oven for 60 - 80 minutes. 
  • Once you remove the loaf from the oven, place the tin on a wire rack and allow the cake to cool in the tin for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the loaf from the tin and place the loaf directly onto the wire rack to completely cool. Once cool, cut into slices and enjoy.
