Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Yields: 10 slices

Ingredients

For the Bread

  • 1 ½ cups (190g) plain/all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (50g) cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup (150g) caster/granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 large bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek-style yogurt

For the Cheesecake

  • ½ cup (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup (50g) caster/granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons (25g) plain/all-purpose flour

Instructions

For the Bread

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan, and set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the egg, banana, vanilla, vegetable oil, and yogurt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.

For the Cheesecake

  • Whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla, and flour until smooth and combined. Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the bread batter, then top with the remaining batter.
  • Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cover loosely with aluminium foil halfway through baking to prevent the bread from browning too much.
  • Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
