Crack eggs into a bowl, season with a pinch of salt, and beat until foamy. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat butter and slowly add sugar, then add vanilla sugar and yogurt or sour cream.

Sift flour and mix it with the butter and sugar mixture at low speed or by hand.

Add baking powder and mix again.

Add the mashed bananas and mix until well combined with the batter.

Sieve cocoa powder before adding it to the batter to avoid lumps.

Add chopped chocolate and mix again.

Add the beaten eggs to the batter, mixing until well combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Peel the last banana and cut it in half lengthwise, placing each half on top of the batter.

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55 minutes.

Remove from the oven and take the chocolate banana bread out of the pan while still hot, releasing the side papers.

Let the cake cool down and then remove the baking paper completely.
