YUMMY, EASY CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE



Yummy, Easy Chocolate Banana Cake image

So easy, so good! Only 3 ingredients. This recipe was a happy mistake. I misread a recipe and discovered this fantastic treat! It has a different texture than a regular cake. Sort of a cross between cake and brownies, it has a lovely chewiness. Lovely hot out of the oven alone or with ice cream, or when cool topped with whipped cream.

BEST EVER BANANA CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Best Ever Banana Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting image

This is one of (if not) the BEST banana cake I have ever tasted! I thought the oven temp of 275° sounded a little low, but this cake baked up (and rose) beautifully in my oven at this temp after pretty much exactly one hour. I do not know if the little "freezer trick" to this recipe is what ensured its moistness or not, but I did it, and it was exceptionally moist & delicious. Would be interesting to see if it still came out as great if this step was skipped. All I know is that I followed this recipe EXACTLY as stated (except that I had no buttermilk, so I subbed with a mix of lemon juice & milk) and I got exceptional results. So moist and yummy...a dense cake, similar in texture to a carrot cake... I personally would not call this frosted banana bread :o) Depending on the amount of frosting you like you can decide whether to half the recipe or not. I used the full recipe and had some leftover. I sprinkled on the chopped walnuts and threw this baby in the fridge and cut it the next day...TO DIE FOR! I really liked it slightly chilled, but great at room temp too! It got better each day it sat, I always make this cake at least the day before I need or want it. I was extremely pleased with this cake and will be making it over & over again!! So glad I came across this one!! (on another website). (* * Just to update the recipe, (based on some of the reviews), the baking time may vary based on individual ovens. It was RIGHT ON for my oven, but some others have stated it has taken 1 hour 10 minutes, 1 hour 20 minutes, and my sister just informed me that it took 1 hour 30 minutes in her oven!!!!!)

BANANA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING



Banana Cake with Chocolate Frosting image

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
