• 0.5 cups Buttermilk
• 0.75 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Optionally, line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bananas and mix well until combined.

Step 5

Stir in the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing gently after each addition to avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Optional: Dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
