Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C / 350 F / Gas Mark 4 and grease a 2lb loaf tin with a little butter

  2. Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the chocolate and brazil nuts and briefly mix together until evenly distributed and coated in flour

  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with a hand whisk or food mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the buttermilk, vanilla and almond extracts and finally the mashed bananas

  4. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Using a large spoon, mix everything together until just combined

  5. Pour the mixture into the greased loaf tin and cook in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle

  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely
