Check out this recipe for The Best Banana Cake
Some things are just meant to be together, banana and chocolate being one of those things. This is by far one of my most favorite cakes and instead of adding the chocolate into the cake I add chopped chocolate chips right into the cream frosting. By sprinkling the banana cake with chocolate shavings you get the perfect amount of chocolate and banana in each bite with out the chocolate over powering the lovely banana flavor.
Banana cake Toppings
I prefer milk chocolate shavings, but you may use whichever chocolate that your heart desire. If your a huge dark chocolate fan, but also live with a milk chocolate fan no problem, just individually add the shavings to each slice verses over the entire cake. Live with a non chocolate lover? No problem again, simply tell them to talk to a psychologist because that is certifiably crazy (Kidding, kind of 😉 )
