How to Make Banana Chocolate Loaf

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon salt.
4. In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda and 2 teaspoons baking powder into 1 cup sour cream.
5. Add the sour cream mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Mash 3 ripe bananas and stir them into the batter.
7. Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just incorporated. Stir in 1 ½ cups chocolate chips.
8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
9. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the loaf browns too quickly, tent it loosely with foil.
10. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
