Chocolate Banana Bread | Home Movies with Alison Roman

This chocolate banana bread is an ideal snacking cake, and also a good starter dessert if you, like Dan, are intimidated by baking. It teaches you some fundamentals, while being basically error-proof. Deeply chocolatey, with many little pockets of banana throughout, crunchy on the outside and never dry on the inside, it’s just a really great dessert to have in your repertoire.

The biggest aha moment I ever had in my journey to (even basic) baking was finding out that baking soda is activated by acid and baking powder is activated by heat. That alone let me wrap my head around recipes in a way I hadn’t been able to do before. It let me adapt recipes with more confidence (as I do with cooking because I understand it more). Truly a revelation.

@songarinsk 2 жыл бұрын

Would you recommend using both at the same time? Also thanks for sharing this!

@Ash-gk8jp 2 жыл бұрын

@@songarinsk baking soda and baking powder are often used together. The soda makes the cake (or anything) more firm so it doesn't deflate too much after you take it out of the oven. Baking powder is more for making things fluffy. Baking soda + cream of tartar = baking powder

@user-kh9ki3kq8m 2 жыл бұрын

actually the thing that activates baking powder is water! (Although some “slow acting” powders do react only at higher temperatures). baking powder is actually just a mix of baking soda and tartaric acid, so when you add a liquid the two combine and react!

@joveblue 2 жыл бұрын

Baking powder is just baking soda with an acid (usually cream of tartar) already mixed in. The chemical reaction is exactly the same. Some recipes use both baking powder and baking soda but the only reason to do this is to tweak the acidity level (i.e. if you want less acid than in baking powder)

@lees5073 2 жыл бұрын

As an avid home baker( and retired professional baker) I suggest draining an 8oz can of crushed pineapple in juice and subbing it for equal amount of mashed banana. The acid will enhance your choice of cocoa powder. Just try it once. You'll love it. Also, FYI for your beloved followers, you are right about the Kitchenaid K5. It's the gold standard workhorse of the 20th century and today. I own one from 1979 which was and still is my go to machine . I had the brushes replaced 20 years ago. That's it. I picked up another in a garage sale unused 3 years ago. My grandchildren will be using it. The interior moving parts are metal made in America and the motor is without equal. It's the goods.

@danbev8542 Жыл бұрын

You did good with the older KAs. I followed a long discussion on The Fresh Loaf and learned that KA used to be Hobart! After separating from Hobart the mixers are no longer the workhorses they used to be. That thread connected me to a place that refurbished Commercial KA mixers. The difference is enormous! I’ve got a lifetime machine! I may try your pineapple idea!

Cocoa powder has acid, so the baking soda is probably reacting with this. Also, yep, brown sugar, because Molasses is an invert sugar with an acid added. So, really, you're golden with the ingredients here. I can't wait to try this!

@KarisaMusolf 2 жыл бұрын

@joveblue 2 жыл бұрын

Actually, while regular cocoa powder is acidic, Alison has used a dutch-processed cocoa powder in this video, which is neutral. Switching to a non-Dutched cocoa powder may help with the rise by providing more acid for the baking soda to react with. However, the ripe bananas in this recipe are another source of acid, so the baking soda should work just fine.

Dear Alison Roman, I've made this 8 million times since you first published this recipe. About a million of those 8 million times, I've made stupid mistakes like using salted butter instead of unsalted, or forgetting to top it with sugar, or the most important top banana. But you know what? It's been amazing each and every time. My friends and family and I want to thank you from the bottom of our fat little bellies. xo

I love your videos! It’s a great way to relax after a long day at work. Thank you! So….Baking soda is an alkali and needs acid to create the carbon dioxide for a reaction. It is used with acidic ingredients like buttermilk, sour cream, cocoa powder, and brown sugar to help achieve a nice rise. It is also more powerful than baking powder and is used in smaller amounts to avoid imparting a bitter flavor. : )

I just made a double batch as a result of a fridge raid. Got rid of all the frozen bananas and the ones I forgot were on my counter. None were good enough to slice so I didn't bother. I didn't have the gumption to buy sugar in the raw / demerara either. Still, this recipe is a sleeper hit. Drop everything you're doing and make it right now. I ate a third of a loaf of this amazing bread which is really a beautiful cake.
