 Ingredients List

  • 3 to 4 very ripe bananas (1 cup total)
  • ½ cup butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • ½ cup walnuts

 Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Chop ½ cup walnuts.
3. Mash the bananas in the bottom of a large bowl, enough to make 1 cup. Melt ½ cup butter, then whisk into the bananas along with ¾ cup brown sugar, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
4. Add 1 teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and
/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder to the bowl and stir together with a spoon.
5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and top with chopped walnuts.
Bake 55 to 65 minutes, until a tester or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, then run a knife around the edge and invert it out onto a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
6. The bread keeps up to 4 days at room temperature, wrapped in foil.
