Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 60 grams brown sugar
- 2 pieces eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 60 milliliters milk
- 100 grams chocolate chips
- 100 grams walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the mashed bananas, chocolate chips, and walnuts gently with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
