Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180C, then grease and line a loaf tin.
Step 2
In a large bowl, sift together the plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, salt, and sugar, mixing well to combine.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mash the bananas and stir in the eggs and melted butter. Gently fold this banana mixture into the dry ingredients until just incorporated.
Step 4
Add the chocolate and nuts, folding lightly, then spoon the batter into the prepared loaf tin.
Step 5
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until risen and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
