A moist, delicious cake--my family has been making this version for years.

• Ready In: 1 hr
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 1 Cake

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup butter or 1⁄4 cup unsalted margarine
• 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
• 2  eggs
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1  cup  mashed ripe banana
• 1 1⁄2 cups flour
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
• 1  cup chocolate chips
• 1  teaspoon flour

Directions

1. Beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
2. Dissolve baking soda in water and add to batter; beat well.
3. Add bananas.
4. Add dry ingredients; blend.
5. Pour chocolate chips into a separate bowl and mix with the remaining teaspoon of flour before adding to the batter (this can keep the chips from sinking to the bottom of the pan). Pour into a 9-inch square baking pan or bundt pan.
