Ingredients
- 2 large bananas very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup light brown sugar (1 cup minus 1 Tablespoon)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour ( 1 cup minus 1 Tablespoon)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup Milk Chocolate Pieces (from a good chocolate bar!)
- 1/3 cup Chopped hazelnuts
Notes
- Feel free to substitute the milk chocolate with dark or semisweet chocolate for a darker richer chocolate taste! I love using hazelnuts here because it’s really my favorite combo with chocolate, but any other nuts would work just as fine!
- I love to make this Chocolate Banana Chocolate Chip cake in an 8-inch square pan and cut it further into squares like brownies, so they feel like a fluffier version of brownies.
- I’ve also made this chocolate chip cake in a loaf pan or a muffin tin, even in a springform pan. All the same perfect texture, just different baking times.
