After reading the P&Q this week on the TWD board, I was a little worried that when I opened the oven, I’d be left with a runny loaf of banana bread. Luckily, I didn’t have a problem. I did, however, forget to add the rum at the proper time… adding it at the last minute to the chocolate mixture. Oh well, it still tasted yummy; especially with that added shot of rum in the chocolate marbling!!

Looks delicious! Rum and chocolate are a great match!
Great job of this…love the dish. I like how yours turned out more white than chocolate…I may have to do that next time as I like the look of it much better.
The cake looks great — I particularly like the top crust. So glad you liked it.
“ooh look at me, I got commented on by Dorie!…” Show off…….
Hehe, just teasing ya! It looks great, J, as always! Just don’t let this Dorie business go to your head, hmm??
That looks perfect!
Your loaf looks especially good-especially the top. I’d say it came out perfect.
YUM! How perfect is that balance of banana and chocolate marbling?!
Your loaf is stunning! I think the rum in the chocolate would be perfect… and maybe the nutmeg in the banana.

I could reach right through this computer screen and grab a piece of that loaf….it’s so inviting looking!
Beautiful, and I think rum being part of the flavor swirling probably was delicious!
It looks very pretty! Lovely job.
Your banana loaf looks wonderful!
Wow, your loaf turned out beautifully!
I was marbling-challenged… yours is beautiful!

your loaf looks flawless!!!
PERFECT marbling!
great jobbb <3
Beautiful job!
It looks delicious!
i added kahlua into my chocolate portion…it worked so well with the rum, but i was afraid it might overkill. gotta love the ‘bake out’ of liquor. looks divine!
I like the concentrated rum in the chocolate batter accident! I actually may try that if I make it again!
So pretty! Don’t make me hate you.
I really like how your photo catches how moist the loaf is.
Great photos! I didn’t like my loaf so much, but it did photograph well.
