Double Chocolate Banana Cake

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Lightly coat an 8-by-11½-inch baking dish with cooking spray or greased with butter.

Add flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a large bowl, and whisk until well mixed.

Add mashed banana, buttermilk, brown sugar, corn syrup, oil and vanilla in a medium bowl, and stir until well combined.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and mix in the wet ingredients, stir with a wooden spoon just until all the ingredients are just incorporated.

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top.

Evenly sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts over the top.

Bake until a wooden stick inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes.

Allow to cool completely in the pan, dust with powdered sugar.

Cut into squares and serve.
