Chocolate Chip Banana Cake

Linda Larsen
This rich cake is very easy to make, and has a wonderful velvety texture because of the mashed banana.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups flour
  • 2-1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 12-oz. pkg. chocolate chips

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan; set aside. In large bowl combine all ingredients except chocolate chips. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. By hand, stir in chocolate chips. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 65-75 minutes or until cake is firm and set and begins to pull away from sides of pan.

Immediately set pan onto a dishtowel that has been soaked in water and gently wrung out. Let pan sit for 5 minutes, then turn out onto serving plate (this will make the cake come out of the pan without sticking). Cool completely before serving. 16 servings
