Method

Mash 3-4 well ripe bananas using a fork. Keep aside.

In a large bowl, take 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup granulated sugar. Beat using a electric beater until well combined.

Crack open 2 large eggs. Beat until smooth.

Add 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tsp vanilla essence, mashed bananas and 1/3 tsp salt. Blend again for a minute. Scrape off the sides of the bowl while beating.

Sieve in 1 1/2 cups plain/all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp baking soda.

Mix well using a spatula.

Transfer 1/3rd of this batter to another bowl. Add 1/2 cup cocoa powder to this batter. Mix well using a spatula. Add 1 1/2 tbsp milk to loosen the batter. Mix until combined.

Transfer half of the plain banana batter to a greased and lined baking tin.

Spoon the chocolate batter on top.

Pour remaining plain banana batter on top of the chocolate batter. Level with a spatula.

Tap 2 times. Swirl the batter using a skewer only once to get a marble effect.

Bake at 170°C for 50-55 minutes or until skewer inserted comes out clean.

Allow to cool down before slicing.

Enjoy a slice with a cup of tea/coffee.
