Ingredients
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas until combined.
Alternately add the dry flour mixture and buttermilk to the banana mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
