Banana Chocolate Chip Cake

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.

I made some changes to this recipe.

The original recipe is loaded with butter and sugar.

To maintain the great taste I used the original portion of butter that was called for.

But the amount sugar I used 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 could also be changed.

My changes made the cake moister than the original recipe.

My family was surprised when they entered the kitchen.

The aroma of the cake made them think they were getting a banana bread.

They really loved this change up on my standby banana loaf.

And just like the bread, this cake was gone before I could wash the dishes.
