🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 large ripe bananas (mashed)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

3. In another medium-sized bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, and whisk until everything is well incorporated.

4. Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients using a spatula, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.

5. Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

8. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve.
