Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350ยฐF. Coat a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare pan: Lightly flour the baking pan, ensuring an even coating to prevent the cake from sticking.
-
Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in the vegetable oil and eggs until just combined. The mashed bananas will infuse the cake with natural sweetness and moisture.
-
Incorporate chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the banana mixture. The chocolate chips will add bursts of rich flavor and decadence to every bite of the cake.
-
Pour batter: Pour the prepared batter into the floured baking pan, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. This indicates that the cake is fully baked and ready to be enjoyed.
-
Cool: Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. This cooling period helps the cake set and makes it easier to handle.
-
Remove and cool completely: After cooling in the pan, carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Allowing the cake to cool ensures that it reaches the perfect texture and consistency for slicing and serving.
