Banana Chocolate Chip Cake~ The original recipe is loaded with butter and sugar. To maintain the great taste I used the original portion of butter was kept the amount sugar was greatly reduced. Also some of the all-purpose flour was replaced with whole wheat. The sour cream and addition of chocolate chips made this bread lighter but retained some of the sweetness. Using a bundt pan in place of the rectangular pan made it easier to eat as well as moist. Your family will love this version of a more traditional cake.
