Chocolate Walnut Banana Loaf Cake

A rich, moist loaf cake made the European way, baked low and slow in a traditional loaf tin for a dense, tender crumb. Ripe bananas and real butter form the base, folded through with melted dark chocolate and toasted walnuts for depth in every slice. The top bakes to a deep golden crust with just the right amount of crackle, while the inside stays soft and full of flavor. Simple ingredients, honest technique, nothing rushed, a quiet classic done right.

Best enjoyed slightly warm, on its own or with a cup of coffee.
