Ingredients
- 1 lb bananas
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup walnut halves
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar(optional)
Method
Heat the oven to 350F and line a loaf tin with parchment.
Mash the bananas thoroughly, then beat in the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla.
Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt over the top and fold until only a few streaks remain. Fold in the chopped walnuts last.
Scrape into the tin and level the top. Bake 50 to 55 minutes, until a skewer in the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then lift it out onto a rack.
Dust with powdered sugar once it is completely cool.
