Servings: persons

2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup (1/8 lb.) butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 firm-ripe bananas(about 1 1/4 lb. total), peeled
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 8 oz.)
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

1
Butter an 8-inch nonstick square cake pan. Cut 2 tablespoons butter into about 1/4-inch chunks and drop evenly in pan. Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar.
2
Slice whole bananas crosswise about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange slices in a single layer in pan. Drizzle evenly with orange juice.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
4
In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat remaining 1/4 cup butter and the granulated sugar until well blended. Beat in egg until well blended, then mashed banana.
5
Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately, beating on low speed just until completely incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread batter over bananas in pan.
6
Bake in a 350u00b0 oven until a toothpick inserted in center of thickest part (not touching fruit on bottom) comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a rack about 15 minutes. Run a knife between cake and pan sides. Invert a platter over cake and, holding both together, invert again. Carefully lift off pan. Serve warm.
