PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 180 celsius and butter a 22 X 12 cm loaf pan or use a non stick baking spray.
Mash the bananas in the bottom of a large bowl. Whisk in the melted butter, sugar, egg and vanilla.
Place the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, flour and cocoa powder in a sifter over the wet ingredients.
Stir dry and wet ingredients with a spoon, until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until a tester or toothpick inserted into the centre comes out batter-free.
Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes then run a knife around the edges and invert on a cooling rack.
The cake gets better after a day or two.
