Banana Chocolate Chip Sheet Cake

Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 35 mins
Total Time 45 mins

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (8 oz) cake flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg large, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk room temperature
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz very ripe peeled bananas (~2-3 medium bananas)
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ with a rack in the center of the oven. Prepare sheet pan with cooking spray and parchment paper. Spray parchment too! 
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or a hand mixer), combine butter and sugar and beat on medium-high until light, fluffy, and doubled in volume (2-3mins). Scrape sides with rubber spatula as needed.
  • Reduce mixer to low and add the egg, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy (1-2min).
  • With mixer on low, slowly pour in buttermilk, oil, and vanilla and increase speed to medium high and beat until the batter is almost white and doubled in volume (~5min).
  • Reduce mixer to low and add bananas a handful at a time and beat until broken into pieces and evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Add dry ingredients gradually and beat until just combined. Scrape bottom and sides of bowl and mix on low for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add 3/4 of the chocolate chips and mix for ~30 seconds to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
  • Pour batter into pan. Sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs attached.
  • Add frosting if you'd like, but I ate it plain!
