Fluffy Chocolate Chip Banana Cake
The best fluffy chocolate chip banana cake! This easy, one-pan loaf is ultra-moist, loaded with ripe bananas, and features a light, airy crumb that melts in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 1/3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 3 medium bananas ripe and mashed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk or butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter and a light dusting of flour, or line it with parchment paper leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a small bowl, mash the 3 ripe bananas with a fork until relatively smooth. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggs and granulated sugar. Mix (using a whisk or hand mixer) until the mixture is fluffy and pale.
- Add the melted butter, milk (or buttermilk), and vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Whisk until just combined.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon directly into the wet ingredients. Whisk together until well combined.
- Gently fold in the mashed bananas
- Fold in the chocolate chips, keeping that extra tablespoon aside for later.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is a beautiful golden brown.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10–15 minutes. Then, lift it out and let it cool completely on the rack to set properly before slicing.
