Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

by 28 Comments

Bananas and chocolate chips. A Delicious combination of foods you always have at home. The aroma in the kitchen will take over your mood and put you in the comfort zone.

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.

Instructions

      It was delicious. The bread was moist, but I added way too many chocolate chips. I have to remember you CAN have too much of a good thing. It doesn’t stop me though. Have a great week!
