Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a bread or cake tin.
In a large bowl, mash bananas with lemon juice. Add sugar and flour, mix well to combine. Add eggs, milk, oil and baking powder. Continue mixing for two minutes.
Add nuts and chocolate. Pour into prepared tin and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Insert a skewer into centre of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is cooked.
