I hope all my Canadian friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We ate a lot of food over the over the weekend so I’m planning to starve myself for about 5 days to avoid adding extra pounds. The best thing about this cake is the addition of butterscotch chips. They are very addictive, I tell you. I wish you a wonderful week!
Always remember to assemble all ingredients before starting.
Cream butter, vanilla essence and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time,
and beat until combined.
Fold in half the banana with half the sifted flour.
Fold in the remaining banana and flour.
Fold in the chocolate chips.. .
Transfer batter into prepared tin (pan).
Bake at 325°F (160°C) for one hour. Stand for ten minutes before cooling on wire rack
Slice and serve

Points to note:
- Please note that oven temperatures are given as a guideline only. You may need to add or reduce the suggested temperature depending on your oven. I baked this cake at 325°F (160°C) for 60 minutes.
- For cup measures: spoon the flour into the cup, heaping it up over the top, then slide a knife across the top to level off the extra. Be careful not to shake or tap the cup to settle down the flour or you will have more than you need.
- If using the small sweet bananas use six to eight depending on the size.

Wow, does this sound awesome! Thanks for breaking it down so well! I love to grill but I am not the best baker yet!
I love to bake but I’m not an expert in grilling. I should learn from you!

Great recipe!
Thanks

Looks fantastic! I’m afraid if I baked it I might eat the whole thing and before it gets cold! I better plan on having friends over! Hahaha. Hank you for sharing his delectable treat! Have a lovely weekend! 🙂
That sounds like a good idea. When I baked mine there were no friends over so you can imagine how much I ate.
Have a pleasant week!
Liz
Hahaha! No guilt! Enjoy! 🙂
Thanks!

Oh yum. I haven’t used butterscotch chips in ages and yet they are so delicious! Thanks for the reminder.
Mine had been sitting in the cold room for some time, then I found them and made good use! I wish you a pleasant week!

Butterscotch chips are the bomb!! I sneak them out of the bag all the time, so addictive! Kat
I discovered some more in my cold room last night. I’ve been sneaking there to eat them. I think they’ll be gone by the end of the week!
