Steps:
- Prepare the dough:
Heat your oven to 350°F before using it. Prepare a 9×5-inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it or lining it with parchment paper.
In a big bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until everything is mixed together.
Put the eggs one by one, stirring well after adding each one. Add the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt with a whisk. Slowly mix the powdered ingredients into the mashed bananas until everything is well mixed.
- To make the marble pattern:
Split the batter into two equal parts. In one part, mix the cocoa powder and milk together well by stirring.
Put spoonfuls of the banana batter and chocolate batter one after the other into the loaf pan that has been prepared. Use a knife or stick to gently blend the two mixtures, making a swirled pattern.
Make the bread.
Put in the oven that has been preheated and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Prepare the caramel topping:
In a small pot, mix together the brown sugar, cream, and butter. Heat the mixture on medium heat, stirring continuously, until it starts boiling.
Keep cooking for 2 to 3 minutes or until the sauce becomes a bit thicker. Take it off the stove and mix in the vanilla extract and a little bit of salt.
Let the glaze cool for a bit until it becomes a bit thicker, then pour it over the banana bread once it has cooled down. If you want, add some chopped nuts or toffee bits for a crunchy touch.
Waiter:
After the icing hardens, cut the banana bread into slices and serve it. The bread can be eaten warm or at room temperature. Keep any extra food in a sealed container.
