Banana Chocolate Chip Cake



Sooo...

It was my Nana's Birthday. She turned '45'. Well, that is, thats what she wants to believe. To be honest, I don't know how old she is anymore. Since I was a little girl, she's always lied about how old it is she truly is. When I was 5, she would tell me she was 35. And I believed her. But, when I got older I started to really think about it. Especially when my father turned 32. I said to my Nana, "So, Nana, when you were 3, you had my daddy?" That was then when she had to lay it out for me.... She was rather disappointed that I figured it out.

None the less, she still as beautiful as always and I tell her that all the time. Shes also very kool. She has not aged one bit from the age of 25 is what I always say. She is nothing like a 'Oldie'. That what I love about her. Shes 'Hip'.

Since it was her birthday, I wanted to do whatever it was she wanted me to do for her. And she wanted me to cook Pot Roast for her. I thought, "Wow. Thats easy." So thats what I did. I made her Pot Roast with Potatoes and Carrots with sides of Mash Potatoes, Corn and Homemade Rolls. I also made her cake of course. A Banana Chocolate Chip Cake, that is.

Everyone thought the food came out great. I, however, did not eat any of it. I don't really favor Pot Roast to be honest. Nor do I like mash potatoes or corn. I did not eat any cake either, but they thought it was great! If my diabetic Grandfather liked it enough to have seconds, then it had to be good!



Recipe

1 1/2 cups of flour
2/3 cup of sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 salt
1 cup mashed banana
1 egg
1/2 butter, melted
1/4 cup milk
3/4 cup chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine bananas, egg, melted butter and milk.

3. Stir together banana mixture into flour mixture. Do not over mix. Fold in chocolate chips.

4. Pour into pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

How sweet! Yesterday would have been my Nana's birthday. Similarly, she turned 39 every year that I can remember. I wish she was still here so that I could have baked her a 39th birthday cake.
