CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE WITH PEANUT BUTTER CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Chocolate Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting image

Inspired by Elvis's famous peanut butter banana sandwich, I took this to the next level by incorporating the flavors into a moist and simple cake. But who can have a cake without frosting? Not me! A creamy peanut butter cream cheese frosting tops this off and makes it my one-of-a-kind cake filled with four favorite flavors. I think Elvis would be proud!
