  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and spread evenly. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing, or frost with your favorite chocolate or cream cheese frosting.

Notes

  • For extra richness, top with a chocolate ganache or drizzle with caramel.
  • You can also add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
  • To make it more moist, substitute half the oil with Greek yogurt.
