Description

A delightful blend of ripe bananas and chocolate chips baked upside down for a visually stunning dessert.


Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter together with granulated sugar until well combined. Stir in the brown sugar and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Pour this mixture into your prepared pan and arrange banana slices on top.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat together the remaining butter and vanilla extract until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time.
  5. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter over the arranged banana slices in the pan.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes before flipping onto a serving plate.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or drizzle with caramel sauce for extra sweetness.
