Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent the cake from sticking during baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure they are evenly distributed.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps incorporate air into the batter for a tender cake.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next to maintain a smooth, even batter.
  5. Add Bananas, Yogurt, and Vanilla: Stir in the mashed ripe bananas, plain yogurt, and vanilla extract to add moisture and flavor to the cake.
  6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the cake.
  7. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter evenly for sweet, melty bites throughout the cake.
  8. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas to maximize natural sweetness and moisture in the cake.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to keep the cake tender.
  • Check the cake around 55 minutes of baking time to avoid overbaking; a toothpick should come out clean when done.
  • The addition of yogurt adds moisture and a slight tang to complement the sweetness of bananas and chocolate.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with chopped nuts or dried fruit for variety.
  • Store any leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
