Banana chocolate Chip Cake!

2 cups Flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt (omit if using salted butter)
1 1/4 cup sugar
8 TBS (1 stick) of butter softened
2 large eggs at room temperature
2 very ripe banana's peeled & mashed (1 cup) * I use banana's that are all brown. They have tons of flavor for this cake. & it's a good way to use left over banana's you have no intention of eating.
1/2 cup of milk room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup chocolate chips ( I like to use more)

_________________________________

1) adjust oven rack to middle position. Heat oven to 350*F. Lightly coat (Pam) a 8 inch square cake can, bunt pan, loaf pan etc.... They all work.

2) Mix together flour, baking powder & salt in small bowl set aside.

3) Beat sugar & butter together until light & fluffy about 3-6 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in banana, milk & vanilla.

4) Mix in flour mixture until Incorporated. stir in chocolate chips.

5) pour batter into cake pan. bake for 55-65 minutes rotating pan midway. bake until wooden skewer comes out clean. Let cool for 2 hours before serving.

* I make this all the time with our left over banana's. It isn't a super strong banana flavor it's just right. It's delish & sure to please. You can also use banana's that have been frozen, just make sure to defrost the banana's before adding into cake batter. Enjoy**
