Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick and bakes evenly.
- Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth but leaving a little texture for a moist, flavorful cake.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas, mixing thoroughly until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips and Pecans: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pecans, ensuring even distribution without overmixing the batter.
- Bake and Cool: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
Notes
- Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Mix ingredients just until combined to keep the cake tender and avoid a dense texture.
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and rising.
- Start checking your cake at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking and drying out.
- Lightly toast pecans before adding for enhanced flavor and crunch.
