A delicious version of banana bread with greek yogurt and chocolate chips.
It is essential that you use very ripe bananas that have many brown spots or even a completely browned peel.

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (upper and lower heat). Grease the cake tin.
2

Mix the butter with the sugar and vanilla sugar using a hand mixer, until light and creamy. Mix until the sugar has dissolved, which takes about 5-7 min.
3

Stir in one egg after the other. Mix until you get a smooth mixture.
4

Add the mashed bananas. Don’t worry if the batter looks a little lumpy or strange, this is what it’s supposed to look like!
5

Sieve the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl. Mix well.
6

Add half of the flour mixture and all of the Greek yogurt to the batter. Mix. Lastly add the rest of the flour and the chocolate chips/chunks. Don’t overwork the batter by mixing too much.
7

Pour the batter into the greased cake tin. Bake for 60-70 minutes. Check the cake after 30 minutes; if the cake is browning too quickly, loosely place a sheet of aluminum foil on top of the cake. This will prevent the top of the cake to get too dark. Remove the foil towards the end of the baking time.
8

Let the cake cool off completely in the cake tin. Then turn out the cake onto a cake platter.
