- Spatula
- Small-medium saucepan/pot
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) (170 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar packed
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 3 large (3 large) eggs room temperature
- 2¼ teaspoon (2¼ teaspoon) vanilla extract
- ¼ cup+2 tablespoons (90 g) sour cream room temperature
- 2¼ cups (~5 medium) (525 g) bananas mashed
- 2¼ cups (281 g) all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons (1½ teaspoons) baking soda
- 1½ teaspoons (1½ teaspoons) ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) salt
- ¾ cup (128 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a bundt cake pan extremely well.
- Brown the butter in a small-medium saucepan or pot over low-medium heat until it bubbles to brown bits and gives off a nutty aroma. Remove it from the heat, transfer it to a large mixing bowl, and let it cool. (You can set it in the refrigerator to help speed up the cooling)
- While the butter is cooling, mash your bananas and, in a separate bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt).
- When the butter is about room temperature, whisk the sugars in really well (~2 minutes). Mix in the eggs one at a time, and then the vanilla and sour cream. Stir in the mashed bananas.
- Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until the flour streaks have all disappeared. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Evenly pour the batter into the bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cake until the top is light brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (about 45-55 minutes).
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. If it looks like it stuck to the sides a bit, carefully run a butter knife around the edges. Then, with a cooling rack on top of the pan (upside-down), flip the cake so that it comes out of the pan and is sitting on the cooling rack.
