CHOCOLATE AND BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Turn your oven on to 180 degrees celsius for a fan oven or 200 degrees celsius for a conventional oven. Line a 1kg (or 2lb) loaf tin with baking parchment. Place a large glass bowl in a saucepan containing a cup of water. The bowl should be above the water, not touching it. When the water is simmering, place the chocolate, chopped into small pieces, in the bowl to melt. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon. Once the chocolate has melted take off the heat and place to one side to cool.
• Peel the skins off of the bananas and mash them. I mash them on a plate using a fork. Place the butter or margarine and sugar into a bowl and cream together. I use a wooden spoon. Once you have creamed the butter or margarine and sugar, beat in the eggs one at a time.
• After you have beaten the eggs into the mixture, add the bananas and then the melted chocolate- be sure the chocolate is cool. Now sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda into the bowl and fold into the mixture. Your mixture should be relatively smooth- the only lumps should be the banana. It might seem a little sloppy- that's ok.
• Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. It shouldn't take longer than that. The mixture should be coming away from the sides a little and a cake tester in the middle of the cake should come out clean. Allow to cool for a while in the tin, then remove and place on a cooling rack.

BANANA BREAD WITH CHOCOLATE AND CRYSTALIZED GINGER

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350F. Grease a 9 by 5 loaf pan with cooking spray or butter. In a small bowl, microwave the butter until just melted. (Be careful and do this over medium power in short burst because it can explode or splatter and that is a big mess.) Or melt it in the preheating oven. Set aside to cool slightly. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add the chocolate chips and crystallized ginger and whisk well to combine. Set aside. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a fork. Add the mashed banana, yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla and stir to mix well. Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir gently with a rubber spatula, scraping down the sides as needed, until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter with be thick and somewhat lumpy, just make sure all the flour has been incorporated. Scrape the batter into the loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake into the loaf is a deep shade of golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 mins to an hour. If the loaf seems to be browning too quickly, tent with foil. Cool the loaf in the pan on a wire rack for 5 mins. Then tip out onto the rack, and let it cool completely before slicing (if you can wait that long). The loaf freezes well wrapped in plastic wrap and again in foil to protect from freezer burn. Try it cold, sliced fresh out of the freezer with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. Divine.
