Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 60 grams brown sugar
• 2 pieces eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 60 milliliters milk
• 100 grams chocolate chips
• 100 grams walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the mashed bananas, chocolate chips, and walnuts gently with a spatula.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
