Ingredients

• 200g all-purpose flour

• 10g baking powder

• 150g sugar

• 100g unsalted butter

• 3 eggs

• 2 medium ripe banana

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• 80g dark or milk chocolate chunks

Instructions

1. In a bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes foamy.

2. Mash the bananas until smooth.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.

4. Combine the melted butter with the sugar and egg mixture, then fold in the mashed bananas and flour until just mixed.

5. Gently fold in the dark or milk chocolate chunks, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Line a baking tray with baking paper and pour the batter into the tray, spreading it evenly.

7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 15–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Note: To prevent chocolate chunks from sinking to the bottom of the cake, lightly coat them in flour before adding them to the batter. This helps with grip and moisture absorption.
