Preparation

  • Preheat the oven at 350°F.
  • Take a 9’’ X 5’’ cake mold and grease the inner sides with butter.
  • Pour the milk and the lemon juice in a big measuring cup and stir well. Set aside.
  • In a big bowl, add the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg then stir well.
  • With the help of an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the softened butter and brown sugar until nice consistency. Incorporate the egg, vanilla and rhum then stir well. Add the banana puree and stir for about 10 seconds.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer and incorporate 1/3 of the dry ingredient mix then stir with a wooden spoon, just enough to wet the ingredients. Add 1/2 cup of chocolate milk then stir for 1 minute. Repeat the process with another 1/3 of the dry mix and the rest of the milk after. Finish with the last 1/3 of the dry mix, add the pecan nuts and chocolate chips then stir.
  • Pour everything in the well greased cake mold and throw in the oven for about 1h00 / 1h10 or until a toothpick comes out dry when you poke it in the middle. (My bread was so big I actually had to use a skew to poke it hahaha!!!!) remove from oven and let cool down for 5/10 minutes before unmolding and eating!
