Banana Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake (Light) image

Made this for a family gathering. It is delicious! The combination of chocolate and banana is great! It also makes a nice cake since it is two colors when you slice it! I also added half a banana for decoration on the cake. Can't wait to bake it again! I adapted a bit this recipe from a R. Reisman recipe.

The cake didn't rise as much as I expected, but it still tasted great. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
