CHOCOLATE BOTTOM BANANA CAKE

Whether I am baking a cake, cookies or pies I always start the recipe by measuring out all the ingredients I need ahead of time. To prepare for this recipe I mashed the bananas, got the butter and egg out of the fridge so they would be room temperature and measured out all the dry ingredients. If I try to do this while I’m in the process of making the recipe, I run the risk of forgetting an ingredient.

A million things can happen while I’m in the process of mixing a recipe together and I’m measuring ingredients as I go alone.. The phone will ring, my husband needs me to help him do something or I get a visitor.  By the time I’m back in the kitchen to my recipe, I’m asking myself…did I already add the baking soda to the flour?  So for me, it’s best that I measure out all the ingredients I need before I start the recipe instead of while I’m mixing the recipe.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 Teaspoon vanilla
• 11/2 cups mashed bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
• 11/2 cups flour
• 1 Teaspoon baking powder
• 1 Teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 Teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips

1. Grease a 9 inch baking dish,  preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2.  Using a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together. Add egg, vanilla, and bananas, beating thoroughly.
