Banana Marble Loaf
- 300 grams bananas
- 3 eggs
- 125 grams butter, melted
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 300 grams plain flour
- 1 1/2 baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 180 grams caster sugar
- 30 grams cacao
- 1 shot espresso (30ml)
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and grease a loaf pan with butter and line with parchment paper.
- Add the peeled banana to a large bowl. Using an immersion blender, puree the banana until smooth. Whisk in the eggs one by one, followed by the melted butter and the lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, sugar and flour. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- Divide the batter in two. Add the cacao and espresso to one half of the batter and whisk until just combined.
- Fill the batter into the prepared loaf pan alternating between the plain batter and the cacao batter. Once finished, use a fork to gently swirl the two batters together - this is what will give the finished cake a marbled pattern.
- Bake the loaf for about 1h or until a wooden skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean.
