Instructions 

  • Prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan by covering the bottom with a piece of parchment paper leaving a slight overhanging. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the butter, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla. Beat on high for two minutes and set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl or the bowl beat the bananas for 1 minute. Add the butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg. Beat for 2 minutes.
  • Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder, mix on low until just combined.
  • Pour banana cake batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Drop the cheesecake filling by heaping tablespoons over the banana bread batter.
  • Drag the tip of a knife through the cheesecake filling to marble it into the banana cake batter.
  • Bake in a preheated 350 F. degree oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the cake from the oven.
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the hot cake. Allow chocolate chips to melt for about 10 minutes. Once melted spread with a spatula over the top.
  • Allow cake to cool completely and the chocolate to harden before cutting.
