Lemony Olive Oil chocolate Banana Bread. #lockdownloaf.

This is the kind of loaf to cook on a Saturday afternoon.
In lockdown. In winter. When you don’t know what to cook.
When you peer in the cupboard and ponder what can I whip up with all the ingredients I have right here? When you don’t want to go to the supermarket.
It’s delicious.,,,Adulterated from the lovely food blog 101cookbooks.com

•    Slip into a Celine cashmere grey sweater.
•    Pull on extreme cashmere leggings and Bottega boots. Defrost fingers.
•    Preheat the oven to 180 C, and place a rack in the centre.
•    Moisturise a 9- by 5- inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf pan, or equivalent.
•    Mash up the bananas in a bowl so they look like your thighs after winter.
•    Chop up the chocolate and eat a few pieces to make sure it’s delicious.
•    In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
•    Add the chocolate pieces and combine well.
•    In a separate bowl, mix together the olive oil, eggs, mashed banana, yogurt, zest, and vanilla.
•    Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture and fold – as you would a Prada sweater – until just combined.
•    Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden brown as Hermes bag, about 50 minutes.
•    Lick the bowl.
•    The cake is cooked when it’s a gorgeous golden brown colour, but make sure you don’t bake all the moisture out of it. Better to under-bake than over. Like lounging on the beach under an umbrella.
•    Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn the loaf out of the pan to cool completely.
•    While the cake is cooling, whip up the icing.
•    In a bowl, whisk together the sugars and the lemon juice until smooth.
•    When the cake is completely cool, drizzle the icing on top of the cake, spreading with a spatula to cover.
•    Yum.
