   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/4           cups  all-purpose flour -- do not pack
      1/4           cup  natural unsweetened cocoa powder -- *Note
   1           teaspoon  baking soda
   1           teaspoon  salt
      1/2           cup  unsalted butter -- (1 stick), at room temperature
   1                cup  sugar
   2              large  eggs
   1                cup  mashed very ripe bananas -- from 2-3 brown bananas
      1/2           cup  sour cream
   1           teaspoon  vanilla
      1/2           cup  semi-sweet chocolate chips

Note: There are two types of unsweetened cocoa powder: 
natural (such as Hershey's) and Dutch-processed. Dutch-processed will 
not work in this recipe.

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Grease a 9 x 5 x 3" loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.

Whisk until there are no more lumps in the cocoa powder and the 
mixture is well combined.

Set aside.

In a large bowl or electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, 
beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.

Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating well after each addition.

Add the dry ingredients and beat gently until just combined.

Add the bananas, sour cream and vanilla and mix on low speed to combine.

Fold in the chocolate chips.

Do not overmix.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly with a spatula.

Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few 
moist crumbs attached, about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Let the loaf rest in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out 
onto a rack to cool completely.
