- Mash bananas; push to side, leaving a space along bowl's side.
- Beat eggs along empty side of bowl, then combine with bananas.
- Stir in sugar, applesauce, vanilla and salt.
- Shake lightly and evenly across surface of batter, the flour and soda; mix just enough to incorporate.
- Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Go easy on chocolate chips because they can overwhelm the cake.
- Pour into greased and floured 7"x11" pyrex glass baking dish (or muffin tins, bundt rounds, etc).

- Frosting is unnecessary but cream cheese (8 oz) & butter (4 Tb) with any flavoring (any syrup, orange concentrate) is yummy.

Steps:
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and paint the inside of a 9 x 3 round cake pan, then put the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes. (The frozen butter prevents the batter from sticking to the pan.) On a cookie sheet bake the walnuts in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or so; let cool, roughly chop, and set aside.
- In a bowl mash the bananas with a fork, add the baking soda and vanilla. Stir well and set aside. In a mixer use the whisk to cream together the softened butter and both sugars. Add the eggs, mashed bananas, half and half and whisk until blended. Mix in the flour half a cup at a time, being careful not to over-beat. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Use a rubber spatula to blend in the walnuts and chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the buttered cake pan; it will only fill the pan half-way.
- Bake the cake in a 350 oven for 60-70 minutes, turning the pan every 20 minutes so the cake cooks evenly. Test to see if the cake is done by inserting a wooden skewer. If the top is browning too quickly, lightly lay a sheet of aluminum foil over the top. When the skewer comes out clean, take the cake out of the oven and place it on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan, putting it back on the wire rack to finish cooling.
- Just before serving dust the top with powdered sugar and shaved chocolate. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.

BANANA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING
I always requested banana cake with fudge frosting for my birthday. Mom's recipe is attached to my fridge-and my heart. It's funny how many memories live on in a stained handwritten recipe card. On a more practical note: It's important to make sure the whipped cream cheese is truly at room temperature before you use it. If not, it chills the softened butter and makes for lumpy frosting. -Jeanne Ambrose, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE
Americans consume more bananas than any other type of fruit. And no wonder. Bananas are aseasonal, prepacked in individual servings with easily removable biodegradable coverings (tear off end, pull skin down) and conveniently capable of being shipped green to ripen in your kitchen. Had the banana been designed by a wholesaler he could hardly have done better. Bananas that have softened beyond palatability can be put to good use. Here is an excellent example.
