Banana and Chocolate Chip Cake
 
Why just make a regular Banana bread loaf -- Take it to the next level and create a Banana Cake with Chocolate chips.  You can also add 1/4 - 1/2 cup of your favorite nuts into the batter. Top with Cream Cheese Frosting if desired.

ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 banana
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
2 egg
1 cup semisweet chocolate

directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place Daisy or (or other) Flexipan mold on a baking sheet.

1. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.

2. Mash banana and mix with buttermilk and vanilla and set aside.

3. In an Electric Mixer cream butter and sugar, beat in egg.

4. Add wet and dry ingredients alternatively until all mixed.

5. Fold in chocolate chips

6. Pour into the mold and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until done.

** You can top with cream cheese frosting if you desire.



Description:
"This is so yummy! This recipe will yield one small cake, for a larger cake - just double the ingredients."

Please note regarding baking recipes: not many of my instructions call for "greasing the pan" or using non-stick spray. The Silpat and Silicone Bakeware which I use do not require additional grease. If you're using a traditional baking pan or sheet, you must either apply butter or spray with non-stick spray. Please contact me with any questions.
