    Lovely! Really enjoyed this one, made couple tweaks: 1) reduced sugar from 125g to 100g and think can probably reduce further, 2) added the seeds of 10 cardamom pods. Loved the big chunky chocolate pieces (used bashed up easter eggs) inside. My cake took about 1.5 hours to bake. Great taste. Didn't do the lemon icing.

    I really like this banana bread, which is quite moist and has a subtle nutty taste without any nuts. There is just enough sweetness imparted by the chocolate (although I used milk chocolate chips). I didn't do any exact calculation, but my guess is this is quite low in fat with only one third of a cup of oil. The problem is that glaze didn't work for me at all. In my view the lemon in the glaze is not compatible with the chocolate or the banana. So next time I make this bread I will omit the glaze.
