# What You Need:

01 - 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed

02 - 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter

03 - 2 large eggs

04 - 1 cup granulated sugar

05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan.

03 - In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

07 - Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.

08 - Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

If you think banana bread is good, wait until you try it with a cake’s soft crumb and hidden pockets of chocolate chips—trust me, it’s magic.
This cake comes together with just a couple of bowls and simple ingredients, making it a breeze no matter your baking mood.

One time I mixed the batter too vigorously—trust me, a heavy hand leaves you with a dense cake instead of a tender crumb.
Letting the cake rest before slicing stops the chocolate chips from smearing everywhere—hard as it is to wait!
