Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

June 14, 2009 By 6 Comments

Every now and then I get into a Situation with some over-ripe bananas, and it usually begins like this. Someone who shall remain nameless says “Mom, I really really want bananas. Can you get bananas when you go to the supermarket?”

And so I purchase a lovely large bunch of bananas.

One gets promptly eaten. The rest of them languish there on the banana hook. And as soon as they develop one infinitesimal speck of brown on them — well, that’s all she wrote. This recipe is a great one since it can be assembled from stuff I usually have on hand. I made it this afternoon out of three well-aged bananas, and believe me, this cake will NEVER languish for long. However, the bunch of bananas in our house was an EXTRA large one, so I have three more to go. Send me your banana suggestions, please! In the meantime, enjoy some banana chocolate chip cake!

    I absolutely love your blog. I am going to make about 10 of your recipes for my Girl’s Night In Oscar Party next month. This is the exact kind of blog I would blog… if I had the time to blog… or cook. Of if I could actually cook. But I’m working on all of the above! Thank you!
