Method

Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 60 mins

Preheat oven to 170°C, 150°C fan, gas mark 4. Grease and line a 3lb loaf tin with greaseproof paper. Put flour, salt, baking powder and bicarb into a bowl and mix.

In separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy (I use an electric whisk). Stir in the mashed bananas, chocolate, yoghurt and 50g pecans, followed by the flour mixture. Spoon into the loaf tin and sprinkle with remaining pecans.

Bake for 1 hour or until skewer inserted into center comes out clean. Leave for a few minutes in the tin, then cool on a wire rack. When fully cool, slice as required and keep in an airtight cake tin.
