How to Bake a Chocolate Chip Banana Cake

Baking a chocolate chip banana cake is a delicious and simple dessert that can be enjoyed by everyone. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make one:

Ingredients: - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened - 1 cup granulated sugar - 2 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 3 ripe bananas, mashed - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Add the mashed bananas to the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

7. Fold in the chocolate chips, being careful not to overmix.

8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, and smooth the surface with a spatula.

9. Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

11. Once cooled, you can serve the chocolate chip banana cake as is, or dust it with powdered sugar or frost it with your favorite frosting.

Enjoy your delicious chocolate chip banana cake!
