Banana Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas mashed
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 ½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°.
- Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt cake pan.In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix the cake batter once you add the dry ingredients. Overmixing can result in a dense cake.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 65 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve.
