Beat in bananas then eggs. *I usually beat the bananas in a bowl until I need them, rinse it out, then beat the eggs in the same bowl so I have less dishes to wash.* Stir in flour mixture alternately with boiling water until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Bake for 1 hr 10 min or until risen and firm to touch. *Most of the times I've made it, it doesn't take the full hour to cook.* Let cool and turn out.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment (allow it to come 2cm above top of tin). Mix the sugar, flour, bicarb, cocoa and chocolate in a large bowl.
• Mash the bananas in a bowl and stir in the whole egg plus 2 yolks, followed by the oil and milk. Beat the egg whites until stiff. Quickly stir the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients, stir in a quarter of the egg whites to loosen the mixture, then gently fold in the rest. Gently scrape into the tin and bake for 1 hr 10-15 mins, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
• Cool in the tin on a wire rack. To make the icing, melt the chocolate and soured cream together in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Chill in the fridge until spreadable. Remove cake from tin, roughly swirl icing over and scatter with the banana chips.
