Christmas Calendar Day 4 - Banana bread with Christmas twist

As I still had some quiet matured bananas in my kitchen, I decided to make a Christmas twist to this banana bread a la "Rye 115" by using a combination of plain and brown sugar with addition of cinnamon on top of the vanilla powder. And as the chocolate part I used a dark chocolate with 55% and the flavour of orange.

You can regular to check the cake during the baking, as the indicated 42 minutes at 170'C is not enough at all in my oven. Here I had to bake for 60-70 minutes at 170'C. So, keep an open eye, if you bake this cake.
