INGREDIENTS

1 pkg brown sugar
2 ripe bananas
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
buttermilk
butter
baking powder
salt
vanilla extract
chocolate chips (optional)

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and use an electric mixer to cream 4 tbs room temperature butter with 3/4 cup light brown sugar.

Then add 1 large egg, 1/3 cup mashed banana and 1 tsp vanilla extract and incorporate those as well.

Next, use a mixing bowl to combine 2 cups all-purpose flour with 2 tbs baking powder and 1 tsp salt. And then alternately add that to the mixer with 1 cup buttermilk.

If you're using the chocolate chips, add about 1/2 cup right now and turn the machine off.

Next, spread 3 tbs room temperature butter into a 9-inch nonstick cake pan and top that with 1/2 cup light brown sugar...and then place a layer of 3/4-inch thick slices of banana over that.

Top that with the cake batter and place the pan onto the center rack of the oven on top of a baking tray.

That will take 40-45 minutes to bake: Use a toothpick to check it for doneness.

Let it cool down for 20-30 minutes then run a knife around the outside edge, place it back on a low burner for 10-15 seconds, invert a large plate over the top, flip it over to release the cake and it is good to go.
