And, if you like things in two's, then I've got a recipe for you!
It comes with a twist of coffee and ginger!
DOUBLE Chocolate DOUBLE Ginger Banana Bread.
This loaf has all the right ingredients.
Butter.
Brown sugar.
Sour cream.
Cocoa.
Dark chocolate.
Coffee.
...plus that spicy kick of ginger.
For most quick bread-style recipes, such as banana bread and muffins, I typically use the 2-step mixing method which simply involves mixing dry ingredients separate from wet ingredients and then mixing the two together.
Instead, this recipe uses the creaming method which yields a find, tight crumb.
I feel so much love for this bread.
I love all of these flavours, and sometimes it's nice to eat something different that challenges our taste buds and the flavour receptors in our brains!
But, of course, if you are not a fan of ginger, you can remove the ginger spice from the recipe - it will not affect the chemistry of the batter.
If you give it a whirl, let me know by tagging your creations on Instagram with #scientificallysweet. I'd love to see what you're baking!

Dark Chocolate Espresso
Ginger Banana Bread
makes 8-10 servings
6 tbsp (84g) unsalted
butter, softened
2/3 cup (145g) packed light brown sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
¼ cup (60ml) sour cream
¼ cup (60ml) sour cream
2 tsp espresso powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground ginger
2 very ripe bananas
(about 1 cup or 240g mashed)
1 1/3 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
¼ cup (22g) cocoa
powder
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup dark chocolate chunks, plus extra for topping
5-6 pieces of crystallized
ginger, sliced thinly
Preheat your oven to 350
degrees F. Line an 8x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Beat together butter, brown sugar and
vanilla in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer until smooth like a sandy paste. Add in the egg and beat until well incorporated
then mix in sour cream espresso powder and ground ginger, scraping down the
sides of the bowl every so often to ensure even blending.
In a small bowl, whisk
together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Add to the wet
ingredients in two additions alternating with the mashed bananas and mix
until just combined, adding in the chocolate chunks with the last addition of
flour. Do not over-mix.
Spread batter evenly into
the prepared loaf pan. Lay crystallized ginger slices and chocolate chunks
over the surface and bake 45-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the
center comes out mostly clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto the rack to finish cooling.
I made this yesterday, with a few modifications, and it turned out lovely! I am a huge fan of the ginger/chocolate combo but always find that desserts are too light on the ginger, so on top of what's required for the recipe, I grated a 3 inch piece of fresh ginger and added it to the cake (after tasting it, I could've honestly doubled that). I also chopped the crystallized ginger for the garnish, instead of slicing it. I will definitely be making this again! :)
ReplyDeleteI always buy specific bananas for banana bread :) this bread looks so delicious, and now I'm totally craving it!
