Description
Banana Chocolate Chip Cake is a moist, fluffy cake made with ripe bananas and chocolate chips. It’s a simple yet delicious dessert perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- If you prefer a healthier option, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- To avoid overmixing, stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently until just combined.
