Beat butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.

I tried this out last night using half fat butter. It worked out really quite well. In view of the previous comments I folded 20g grated chocolate into the batter and reduced the chocolate chips to half a cup. If you're watching your weight and fancy a treat, this definitely hits the spot!

This cake was a hit!!! Everyone loved it! It was tasty and easy to make, I highly recommend. Based on another reviewers comments about the chocolate chips sinking, I added chocolated chips to the batter and I put a bunch on top (I used more than I cup of chips). The chips that sank made like a chocolate crust, but there were plenty that were in the middle and stayed on on top.

yummy
This cake is a mirakle, Girl!

Very moist and tasty cake! HOwever, my chocolate chips did sink despite the flour tip. And I would be more likely to name this cake "Monkeyboy Banana Chocolate CHIP cake" since the cake is not actually chocolate. Good treat though. :-)
