Ingredients

• 4 whole ripe bananas
• 120 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams light brown sugar
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 whole large eggs
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 120 grams plain yogurt (or sour cream)
• 100 grams mini chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal later.

Step 2

Peel 2 bananas and slice them lengthwise into halves. Arrange the slices flat on the bottom of the prepared pan in a single layer.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 50 grams of the unsalted butter with the light brown sugar until smooth and bubbling. Pour this caramel mixture evenly over the banana slices in the pan. Set aside.

Step 4

Mash the remaining 2 bananas in a bowl until smooth and set them aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, cream the remaining 70 grams of unsalted butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 8

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the plain yogurt. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Pour the batter over the caramelized bananas in the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.

Step 13

Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Double Banana Chocolate Chip Upside Down Cake!
