Ingredients

  • 1 cup Oil/ Butter
  • 1.5 cup Sugar replace 0.75 cup white sugar with 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 3 Eggs at room temperature
  • 3 -4 Bananas super ripe/ normal
  • 1.5 tablespoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups All-purpose flour Feel free to use half whole wheat + ground oats
  • 1.5 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • A pinch Salt
  • ½ cup Chocolate chip or up to you

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C
  • Mix your dry ingredients, flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and whisk it all well to add aeration in the dry ingredients.
  • Then take oil/ butter (use a stand mixer if you have one for butter) add sugar and whisk until all sugar is well mixed. Add one egg at a time, whisk until incorporated. Now add vanilla extract, whisk until incorporated.
  • Mix in the bananas, as you know this will cause the mixture to curdle, that is okay.
  • Now, add dry ingredients one third at a time, fold it in the liquid ingredients. Repeat until all dry ingredients are completely mixed in. Do not whisk at this point. Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
  • Pour it in your Bundt pan, tap it to level and put it in the pre-heated oven for around 45 minutes. (See Note). Make sure that cake is completely baked using the tooth-pick test.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-minute. Then turn it over on a plate, cut and enjoy!

Notes

You would need two big bowls, a whisk, one spatula, one 9.5 / 10-inch Bundt pan greased/ oil sprayed.
Time might vary for your oven, check every 3 to 5 minutes after 35 minutes
