Ingredients

340 g	butter, unsalted
550 g	sugar
6 large	eggs
6 large	bananas, ripe
350 g	flour
1 tsp	baking soda
250 g	chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, dark
125 g	coconut flakes, dried

Method

Preparation time: ca. 20 min / Grade of difficulty: easy / Calories per portion: n/a

Bring all ingredients to room temperature. Mash bananas in a bowl.

In a second bowl, combine chocolate and coconut, add 2 tbsp of the flour and mix. This will keep the chocolate from sinking to the bottom of the cake pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar and mix until creamy. Add one egg at a time, incorporating it into the batter before adding the next one.

Sift the flour and baking soda and add it to the batter, alternating with the mashed bananas. Finally, fold in chocolate and coconut.

Grease the bottom and sides of a large pan. Pour batter into the pan and bake in a pre-heated oven at 165 C for approx. 90 minutes. You may choose to use less sugar, as the bananas add plenty of sweetness to the cake.
