How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Birthday Sheet Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with 1/2 cup sour cream until completely smooth.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon orange zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, 5 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add half of the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and beat on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in the remaining banana mixture and 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips using a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before running a knife around the edges.
- Invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the icing (recipe below).
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost with the prepared icing.
