Instructions
 

Preheat & Prep

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Cream Butter & Sugar

  • In a large bowl, beat butter with both sugars until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla.

Add Bananas & Sour Cream

  • Mix in mashed bananas and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until just combined.

Combine Wet & Dry

  • Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet batter and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Notes

💡 Tips for Success
Use very ripe bananas for best flavor and moisture
Toss chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before folding in to prevent sinking
Let cake cool fully before glazing or dusting with powdered sugar
