Banana And Chocolate Chip Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and fine sea salt.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter, oil, sugar, brown sugar, molasses, allspice, cinnamon, espresso and vanilla until just combined. The secret to this cake's texture is to stop mixing before the sugar is dissolved.
• Use a spatula to mix egg into butter mixture, then stir in flour mixture just to combine. Fold in bananas and chocolate chips. Scrape batter into prepared cake pan and bake until top is golden and sides begin to pull away from pan, about 25 minutes.
• Let cool for at least 20 minutes (or longer, until completely cooled), then run a thin spatula around the edges to separate from the pan. Invert onto a serving plate. Cake will keep for 1 day, covered.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Coat 9" square pan with cooking spray; flour lightly.
• Combine flour,sugar,soda and salt.
• In a second bowl mash bananas; stir in oil and eggs until just combined.
• Mix dry ingredients into banana mixture.
• Stir in chips.
• Pour batter into pan.
• Bake 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Steps:

• Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin. Melt butter, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan over a medium heat.
• Remove from heat and add the mashed bananas, mix well.
• Add the egg, mix well.
• Stir in the flour and the milk. Once combined add the chocolate chips.
• Pour into the prepared tin, sprinkle with a tablespoon of demerara sugar to give a crunch topping if liked.
• Bake at 150 C fan oven (or 170 C regular, Gas mark 3) for 45 mins, until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool and enjoy

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour oblong pan, 9x13x2 inches.
• Beat all ingredients, except chocolate chips, in large mixer bowl on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 3 minutes.
• Stir in chocolate chips by hand.
• Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake until toothpick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, approximately 45 minutes.
• Cool cake completely and frost with Vanilla Butter Frosting.
• To make VANILLA BUTTER FROSTING:.
• Blend powdered sugar into butter.
• Stir in vanilla and milk.
• Beat until frosting is smooth and of spreading consistency.
• Hint #1. For best results, be sure the bananas you use for cakes are fully ripened. If you use firm bananas, the cake will not have the fragrance or the flavor.
• Hint #2. To sour milk: Add 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. For this recipe, use 2 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice for 2/3 cup milk.
• Hint #3. When it comes to homemade frosting, I usually increase the recipe by one-half; so in this case, I used 4 ½ cups powdered sugar, 7 ½ tablespoons butter, and 2 ¼ teaspoons vanilla (using the same measuring spoons, 1 ½ teaspoons first, and then ½ and ¼ teaspoons vanilla).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cream butter and sugar.
• Beat eggs very lightly and add.
• Dissolve baking soda in sour cream. Add to mixture and beat well.
• Add mashed bananas, flour, salt, and vanilla. Mix well.
• Mix in chocolate chips.
• Bake in a well greased 8"x8" pan for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
