Servings 12 - 16 pieces
Ingredients
- 3 - 4 overripe bananas mashed about 1 1/2 cups
- 2 cups white sugar
- 3/4 cup butter at room temp
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk whole milk or 2% milk
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan with butter or a baking spray, making sure to cover the sides of the pan too. Set aside.
- Use a stand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar (I use the paddle attachment).
- Add the eggs, mixing in one at a time. Then add the vanilla and mix until smooth.
- In a separate large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a separate small bowl mix together the milk and sour cream.
Putting it all together:
- Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, followed by 1/3 of the milk/sour cream mixture and repeat until it is all combined.
- To this batter add the mashed bananas and mini chocolate chips, then combine.
- Pour the banana cake batter into the prepared 9 x 13 cake pan.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. (Check the cake after 30 minutes to see how it is baking.)
- Cool and enjoy!
- Note: If you're going to add frosting, make sure to let the cake cool completely before adding it to the top of the cake.
