Banana Chocolate Chip Cake






Will be celebrating birthdays of boys from 3N1--so everyone will have a cupcake each. Bought 3 bunches of bananas and decided to try a new recipe for banana cakes. Have always used my Banana Nut Bread recipe (a foolproof one!), but thought will try out this one for a change. This recipe calls for only butter and lots more milk. The rest of the ingredients are more or less the same. I added chocolate chips as the boys would like that. Cake turned out to be soft and moist.

Banana Cake

3 cups flour
2.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
150g butter
1 cup fine sugar
3 eggs
1.5 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup milk and 1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 cups mashed bananas
1 cup chocolate chips

Method
1. Sift dry ingredients.
2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time. Add in vanilla essence.
3. Fold in flour mixture and alternate with milk.
4. Add in mashed bananas and choc chips and mix well.
5. Bake at 180C for 20 minutes (for cupcakes) and 175C for 35 minutes (for loaf pan)
