Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Next, add the mashed bananas and sour cream to the mixture and stir until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack and let it cool completely.
Variations:
If you want to switch things up, you can try these variations:
- Replace the chocolate chips with nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
- Add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
- Top the cake with cream cheese frosting or caramel sauce.
- Make muffins instead of a cake by using a muffin tin and reducing the baking time to 20-25 minutes.

This chocolate chip banana cake with sour cream is the perfect combination of moist, fluffy, and sweet, with a hint of tanginess from the sour cream. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you enjoy it as a dessert or with a cup of tea, this cake is sure to impress.
