Ingredients

Banana × 3
150 g Flour (all-purpose)
80 g Butter
120 g Raw cane sugar
Egg × 2
120 g Chocolate bar (baking)
75 g Almond flour
1 sach. Baking powder
40 g Almonds (roughly chopped, for the top)
3 g Salt

Method

Prep Dry Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, combine: the sugar, ground almonds, flour, baking powder & a pinch of salt.
Mash Bananas

Peel the bananas (the riper the better) & add them to a second mixing bowl. Mash the bananas.
Wet Ingredients

Add the eggs & whisk to combine. Melt the butter — short bursts in the microwave or gently in a small pan — then add it & stir again.
Combine

Mix the dry ingredients into the second mixing bowl (the banana mixture). Whisk just until combined, with no dry streaks of flour left.
Add Chocolate

Roughly chop the chocolate & incorporate it into the cake batter.
Generously grease a loaf tin

Generously grease a loaf tin with butter & pour in the cake batter.
Optional: top with almonds

Optional: roughly chop the almonds and scatter them over the top.
Bake

Bake for 35-40 min at 180°C.
Cool & Serve

Once the top is golden, poke a knife into the centre — if it comes out clean, with no wet batter clinging to it, the loaf is ready. Enjoy cold or at room temperature!
