Banana and Chocolate Bread (totally dessert)



A few days ago I saw this recipe in Instagram that looked like.....sheer drooling chocolately and juicy banana flavors wet together. It was hard! I had not idea what to eat to contain my lust for this dessert. So I planned for it, and yeah it was awesome. It wasn't hard but it needed sour cream. 

And before you give up on the recipe cause I said sour cream, remember: sour cream is simply cream fermented 24 hours with lemon, that's it. So you can make sour cream, check out my recipe.  Also I cut the sugar of this recipe in half, it called for 200 grams but it is just an insane amount of sugar, I mean come on, the one thing that american recipes just never get right....

INGREDIENTS:

Dry ingredients:

-158 grams of flour or 1/3 cup.
-23 grams of cocoa powder or 1/4 cup.
-1/4 teaspoon of salt.
-1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
-1 teaspoon of grounded coffee.
-1 teaspoon of baking soda.

Wet ingredients:
-123 grams or 1/2 cup of unmelter butter.
-121 grams or 1/2 cup of sour cream.
-100 grams or 1/2 cup of granulated sugar.
-2 large eggs.
-3 medium smashed bananas.
-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
-1/3 cup of chocolate chips.

STEPS:

1. Mix in a bowl the flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and coffee powder. Stir and blend all well. Now set apart.
2. Now to the wet ingredients list: beat the butter with a electric whisker until becomes creamy and fluffy. Now add the sugar to it and beat again with the electric whisker. Now add the 2 eggs, and beat again. Now add the 3 banana previously mashed and stir with fork. Now add the vanilla, stir it all well with fork and mix evenly. It doesn't have to be perfectly creamy and smooth.
3. Now add the flour mixture slowly in like 3 parts progressively, combining with the sour cream. So put some flour mixture, add some sour cream and mix. Do this 3 times until it is all blended. 
4. Now pour mixture into a lined banana bread container. I lined it up with baking paper cause it is so easy to undo later. Pout the whole mix that is simply ridiculously yummy and now on top place the chocolate chips. Mine were just pieces of dark chocolate I broke with a hammer.
5. Bake for an hour to 180-175 degrees in second rack of oven, so closer to the bottom but not too close. 

That's it. Keep an eye on it and when the toothpick comes out clean your cake is done! Let's be honest this is not bread, it is sheer dessert. 

My mom said it was DELICIOUS. I might add one more banana cut in chunky pieces next time to see what happens....it really has such great balance of chocolate and bananas.
