During the Week Banana Cake

During the week, I cook dinner and bake a bit. On the weekends, we go out to dinner usually Friday and Saturday nights and I bake occasionally.  

Recently I've made Banana cake. 

I always like to add chips to the batter; chocolate, espresso, heath, white. This cake had chocolate chips inside with Heath-toffee chips on top.  The recipe is easy and always comes out great:

4 overripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla (or maple syrup if you like)

2 eggs

1/3 cup melted butter

1 and 1/2 cups all purpose flour

chips for inside and outside

Pre heat oven to 375. Mix all ingredients (I do wet, then add dry) and pour into a baking dish you've sprayed previously (or buttered).  Add chips on top (streusel works well too).

Bake for 30 minutes uncovered, then cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes more.  Check for doneness and take out or adjust time to your oven.  

Serve warm.  Michael's 2nd favorite (after chocolate chip cookies).
