  • 2/3 cup sugar

  3. In a separate bowl, combine bananas, egg, melted butter and milk.
  4. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture until just blended.
  5. Stir in chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into pan and bake until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes. (It may have some melted chocolate on it but no crumbs)

Notes

    • Bananas: You need nice ripe bananas for this recipe so they will mush up softly into the cake batter.

    • Chocolate Chips: You can use either regular or mini chocolate chips.

    • Baking Powder: It’s always good to check the expiration date on baking powder. Expired baking powder won’t give us the nice fluffy texture we want for our banana cake.
