  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 1 cup sugar

  • ¾ cup vegetable oil

  • A pinch of salt

  • 1½ cups self-rising flour

  • ½ cup cocoa powder

  • 250g chocolate chips (preferably 55% cocoa)

Preparation

Preparation:

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C

  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and foamy

  3. Add oil, mashed bananas, and salt, and mix until smooth

  4. Sift in flour and cocoa powder, and fold just until combined—do not overmix

  5. Fold in 80% of the chocolate chips

  6. Divide batter between two greased loaf pans and smooth the tops

  7. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips in a line down the center of each loaf

  8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

Notes

Notes:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips with at least 55% cocoa for best results

  • Mix white and dark chocolate chips for extra variety

  • If the tops brown too quickly, loosely cover with foil during the last 10 minutes

  • Cocoa to flour ratio can be adjusted to taste, keeping the total to 2 cups. For extra chocolatey cake, use 1 cup cocoa plus 1 cup flour
