Banana Chocolate Chip Cake Ingredients

Bananas – Fully riped bananas work best for this recipe.

Chocolate chips – I prefer to use semi sweet chocolate chips, but you can use milk chocolate or vegan chips. 

Butter – I prefer using real butter in my recipes, but you can use margarine if you like. I prefer to use unsalted butter, but either will work.

Flour – I use all-purpose flour

Sugar – Granulated sugar works best in this recipe

Eggs – You will be using two eggs as well as 2 egg yolks for this recipe. I save the whites for omelets

Pure Vanilla Extract – you can use a generic, but make sure it is a real vanilla extract for best results.

How to make a simple chocolate chip loaf cake

The steps to make the cake are so easy!

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar
2. Add eggs
3. Add the dry ingredients.
4. Add the chocolate chips.
5. Then pour the batter in the loaf pan and smooth it out with a spoon or rubber spatula. I like to add a few more chocolate chips to the top of the loaf so that the melty chocolate chips stand out when the bread is baked.

Let cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before cutting.
