The Victorians were very fond of marbled cakes. The recipe is so called because the feathery swirls of chocolate that are revealed when it is sliced make a pattern similar to that of Italian marble.

Marbled Chocolate Banana Bread (Vegan) image

Doesn't marbling just make everything better? And in this case it combines the goodness of chocolate and banana together. I found this on the www.theppk.com. One of my favorite sites!

Provided by Wish I Could Cook

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 1-inch slices, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup mashed very ripe banana
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/3 cup almond milk (or your preferred non-dairy milk)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons boiling water, divided

Steps:

  • Prepare boiling water, no need to measure yet. Also, preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mash the banana in a large mixing bowl until relatively smooth. It should take 3 average sized ones, but spoon the mashed 'nanas into a measuring cup to make sure, then return to the mixing bowl. Beat in the sugar, canola oil, milk and vanilla.
  • Now add the flour, baking soda and salt and gently mix just to incorporate. It's okay if there is some flour still visible, just be careful not to overmix at this point.
  • Scoop one cup of the batter up and transfer it to a separate mixing bowl. Now, in a small tea cup mix the cocoa powder with 3 tablespoons boiling water and stir vigorously with a fork until the chocolate is dissolved. Add this chocolate mixture to the one cup of banana and mix until the chocolate is thoroughly smooth and incorporated.
  • Now back to the original plain banana batter; add 3 tablespoons of boiling water and mix the batter just until relatively smooth. (Unless your batter is already moist enough, then skip the extra water.).
  • Here comes the fun part, it's time to marble! Lightly grease an 8×4 loaf pan. Scoop alternate 1/2 cupfuls of chocolate/banana batter into the loaf pan. Nothing has to be precise here, in fact, the more random, the better. Once all of the batter is in, take a butter knife and swirl it through the batter in circular directions for about 10 seconds.
  • Bake for 55 minutes. Use a butter knife to test for doneness. Let cool and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender loaf.
  • Use cold butter. Cold butter will help to keep the bread moist and prevent it from becoming too dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Marbled Chocolate Tea Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and rich chocolate flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
