- Ingredients
- For the banana mixture :
- 5 oz / 150g butter
- 5 oz / 150g self raising flour
- 5 oz / 150g light brown muscovado sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1- 2 bananas
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- For the chocolate mixture :
- 5 oz / 150g caster sugar
- 5 oz / 150g self raising flour
- 5 oz / 150g butter
- 1 oz / 25g light brown muscovado sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 dessertspoons cocoa powder
- For the topping :

Instructions
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- In another bowl mash up 1-2 bananas (we used 1 1/2 ) then fold them into the butter and sugar.
- In a separate mug whisk two eggs together and add to the mixture.
- Fold in the flour and baking powder.
- Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat and add the cocoa powder.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into a separate bowl with the sugar in and mix well.
- Add another two whisked eggs and mix. Fold in the flour and baking powder.
- Put one spoonful of chocolate mixture into a 20cm deep round tin then a spoonful of banana in next to it. Repeat multiple times until all the mixture is in the tin. You should now have a spotty pattern. Take a metal skewer and draw figure-eights in the mixture. It should now have a marbled look.
- Cook in a gas mark 5 / 170c fan preheated oven for 45 minutes or until golden and a skewer comes out clean.
- When cooled sprinkle with banana chips and / or cocoa powder.
