Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large bananas very ripe and mashed
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees (for a glass pan) or 350 degrees (for a metal pan)
  • Grease an 8x11 pan and set aside
  • Combine milk and white vinegar in a bowl and let sit. This will create soured milk. Buttermilk may be used in place of the soured milk and the vinegar can be omitted.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. 
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream together the sugar and softened butter. Beat on high for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides 1-2 times. 
  • Add the eggs and mix until fully combined. 
  • Add the vanilla and mashed bananas. Mix until just combined. 
  • Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients and mix a few times. Next, add 1/2 of the soured milk (or buttermilk). Then mix in another 1/3 of the dry mixture followed by the soured milk. Finish with the last of the dry mixture and stir until just combined (a few dry streaks is okay).
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Spread the banana chocolate chip cake into the greased cake pan.
  • Bake for 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake, comes out clean.
