• Chocolate banana bread

INGREDIENTS:
• 5 eggs;
• 200g sugar (if you prefer it sweeter, you can supplement with 50g);
• 550g fresh cow cheese;
• 250g yogurt (with a higher fat percentage or you can replace with sour cream);
• 100g flour;
• 150g semolina;
• 10g baking powder;
• a pinch of salt;
• grated zest of a lemon;
• orange essence;
• 170g chocolate;
• 100g cream cheese.
+ 1 with a pat of butter to grease the pan and salt flakes to decorate the pasca.
METHOD OF PREPARATION:
1. In a bowl, I mixed: cow cheese, yogurt, lemon zest and essence.
2. In a bowl, I broke the eggs, added sugar and salt and mixed until they doubled in volume.
3. I put the composition from point one on top of the composition from point two and mixed for ~30 seconds.
4. I mixed separately: semolina, flour and baking powder. I put them on top of the composition obtained earlier and mixed for ~30 seconds.
5. I lined a 24cm diameter tray with baking paper and put 3/4 of the obtained composition in it.
6. I mixed the rest of the composition with 85g of chocolate (half the amount of chocolate) which I melted on a steam bath.
7. I poured the chocolate mixture into the tray, placing it in spots across the surface.
8. I put the tray in the preheated oven at 160*C and baked it for ~1h and 30 minutes. I did the toothpick test at the end.
9. I let it reach room temperature and then I melted the rest of the chocolate together with the cream cheese and put them on top. I spread the composition over the entire surface.
10. I put the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour and then I decorated it with salt flakes.
Good appetite!
