Time 1h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg or 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 medium ripe bananas
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
lemon juice
1 tablespoon dark rum
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup butter, plus
2 tablespoons butter
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8x4x2 1/2 inch loaf pan; dust with flour; tap out excess.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a small bowl until blended.
  • In another small bowl, mash bananas with lemon zest and juice; stir in rum.
  • Microwave chocolate and 2 T butter, stirring every 10 seconds, until melted and blended.
  • Beat remaining butter with mixer on medium speed 3 minutes or until creamy. Add sugars; beat 2-3 minutes until light and smooth.
  • Add eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in vanilla (batter will look curdled).
  • Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in 1/2 the flour mixture just until blended. Beat in milk until combined, then remaining flour mixture. Scrape down bowl; beat in banana mixture (batter will look lumpy).
  • Stir a little less than 1/2 the batter into melted chocolate to blend. Drop alternating spoonfuls of both batters into prepared pan. Using a table knife, swirl batters together, taking care not to overdo it.
  • Bake 1 hour and 20 to 30 minutes (check cake after 45 minutes and cover loosely with foil if it's getting too brown), until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  • Cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes before inverting on rack, turning right side up and cooling completely.
