Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup natural cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas , or 1 ½ cup mashed
- ¾ cup coconut sugar , or brown sugar
- ½ cup sour cream , or full-fat Greek yogurt, room temperature
- ⅓ cup coconut oil , or any oil
- 2 large eggs , room temperature
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup chocolate chunks
Others
- chocolate chips , for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 320ºF (160ºC), no fan. Line and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, with the parchment paper overhanging on the sides.
Dry Ingredients
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a big bowl. Set aside.
Wet Ingredients
- Add mashed bananas, oil, sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract in another bowl and mix well using a hand whisk.
- Add in chocolate chunks and fold everything well using a spatula. Don't overmix to avoid tough and dense bread.
Bake
- Pour into the loaf pan and spread evenly. Bake on a lower ⅔ rack for 70-70 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with some wet crumbs. I like to cool it for 30 minutes on a rack before slicing it since I like it warm!
Notes
- For cup measurements, use the scoop and level method for measuring flour. Too much flour will result in a tough cake.
- Don't overmix the batter to avoid a dense and tough cake.
- Bake immediately, don't leave the batter sitting on the counter or in the fridge. This recipe uses baking soda that works effectively and amazingly when baked immediately.
- I use a portable oven thermometer to get the accurate oven temperature.
