Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana around 3 bananas
  • ½ cup milk

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips separated

Instructions

Mixing the Batter

  • In a large bowl, cream unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg, mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips, saving some for topping.

Preparing the Pan

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.

Baking the Cake

  • Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving the Cake

  • Once cooled, slice the cake into even pieces.
  • Enjoy it warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
  • Optional: Add a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

Storing and Repeating

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Notes

For an extra moist cake, use overripe bananas with plenty of brown spots. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be! Want even more flavor? Add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg to enhance the warm, comforting taste.
