Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan.
-
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas.
-
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix well.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder and hot water to make a smooth paste.
-
Pour half of the banana bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon dollops of the cocoa paste on top, then swirl it into the batter using a knife or skewer.
-
Pour the remaining banana bread batter on top, and repeat the swirling process with the remaining cocoa paste.
-
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
