Banana Chocolate Chip Cake with Nutella Frosting

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.

Step 2

Add eggs one at a time, mixing in between. Stir in vanilla. In small bowl, mash bananas with lemon juice. Add bananas to bowl and mix well. Stir in buttermilk.

Step 3

Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Fold in mini-chocolate chips. Pour into greased baking pans. Use your favorite non-stick cooking spray or butter and then a light dusting of flour. I suggest using three 8-inch cake pans or two 9-inch cake pans.

Step 4

Bake for 22-26 minutes or until the center of the cake is completely baked.

Step 5

Let cool and then remove from pans.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and nutella. Add powdered sugar and whip until light and fluffy. Add cream as needed.

Step 7

Frost cooled layers with Nutella frosting. If you want more Nutella flavoring, drizzle some all over the top of the cake or sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
