How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  3. In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, eggs, vanilla, mashed bananas, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
