I just made this banana bread, and it is amazing. I used walnuts instead of hazelnuts, and dark chocolate chips (you were right about those!). I had a pile of bananas, so I made two loaves. One’s going to work tomorrow, but the other one is all mine. Thanks for this delicious recipe!

Hey Jules, can’t wait to try this recipe, sounds delish. Another great one to try, which I’ve been makin for years is a Nigella Lawson one, banana bread with dates and walnuts. It’s actually supposed to be sultanas, but I can’t stand those dead flies, so I use dates instead. Also, the dates are soaked first in Bourbon. The cakes comes out so moist, with just the tiniest hint of the bourbon.

Jules,

The Guinness cake is a Nigella Lawson recipe from her Feast cook book. It’s well worth a shot. One of the finest cakes I’ve ever had; malty and chocolatey with a fantastic sweet cream cheese icing.

Love the idea of adding hazelnuts and chocolate to banana bread. Elevates it to a whole new level!

pete,
guinness cake sounds intriguing, I’m going to have to experiment with that one. although I have been playing around with the guinness icecream at icecream ireland which is lovely.

great minds think alike amanda. great idea to make flourless chocolate cake into cupcakes. thanks

thanks daniel,
it does seem a little contageous. but i guess baking’s usually like that.

thanks paula. I couldn’t agree more. keep those rain clouds coming
