Double Chocolate Banana Cake is a very dense, soft and delicious cake which you can enjoy any time of the day. In preparing this cake I used dark brown sugar, dark chocolate chunks and my house was filled with a chocolate-banana aroma.
When I was preparing this cake, my kids are eagerly waiting for the cake to come out from the oven. My kids love chocolate cakes very much and I usually prepare chocolate cakes for any occasion. I am very happy that the cake came very well and the kids loved it very much. Recipe adapted from here
This is my 12th baking recipe for the Bake a Thon. I am very happy that I took part in this event. Only one more recipe is there to finish this event. Thank you one and all for your support.
