Black-Bottomed Banana Bread
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
3 medium-sized ripe (or overripe) bananas
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder
Topping:
1/4 cup flour
3 tablespoons rolled oats
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter, softened
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour bottoms an 9″ loaf pan. If using an 8″ pan, just bake the leftover batter in a ramekin or two. Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add sour cream, eggs and bananas and mix until incorporated. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Stir into the wet ingredients. Split the batter in half. Sift the cocoa powder into half the batter and mix. Pour chocolate batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with the regular banana bread batter.
Place all the topping ingredients in a bowl and mix with a fork until crumbly. Spread evenly over the top of the loaf pan.
Bake on center rack at 350º for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick in center comes out clean. Cool at least 20 minutes before removing from pan to avoid tearing on the bottom.
