1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
200g sugar
1/2 vanilla pod (or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste)

How to prepare banana cinnamon loaf cake
- Melt the butter over low heat.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla with a mixer until you get a thick and voluminous pale yellow cream.
- Add the melted butter (minus about 2 tablespoons which you leave in the pot) in a thin stream while continuing to mix.
- Add the flour sifted together with the baking powder and baking soda. Mix gently with a spatula until incorporated.
- Peel the bananas. Slice a few from one for decoration. Mash the rest (in a food processor or very well with a fork). Add the banana puree to the batter and fold in gently with the spatula.
- In the remaining melted butter, dissolve the brown sugar over low heat. Then add the cinnamon and cocoa.
- Grease a 25 x 10 cm loaf pan with butter.
- Put 1/4 of the batter in the pan. Pour 1/4 of the cinnamon mixture. Run a knife through the batter to marble it.
Then add 1/3 of the remaining batter, drizzle 1/3 of the cinnamon mixture and marble again.
Add 1/2 of the remaining batter and 1/2 of the cinnamon mixture and marble.
Add the remaining batter, drizzle the remaining cinnamon mixture and marble.
Decorate with banana slices. - Bake the loaf at 180C for 50-55 minutes (after 45 minutes start checking the center with a toothpick, it should come out clean).
