YUMMY, EASY CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE
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.

THE BEST BANANA CAKE
This banana cake is delectably moist, perfectly sweet and easy to make. Dark brown sugar and sour cream add depth to the batter, and we added melted butter instead of vegetable oil for a flavor boost. Fluffy cream cheese frosting and swirls of dulce de leche will make you go back for seconds. We also upped the ante by using bananas in two ways -- fresh bananas are mixed into the cake while maple-candied banana chips create a crunchy topping.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan (see Cook's Note) with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two longer sides. Lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- For the cake, mash the bananas in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher until very smooth. Whisk in the dark brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla until smooth and combined. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture in thirds until just combined. Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Leave the cake in the pan to cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Use the foil overhang to remove the cake from the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, beat the butter, cream cheese and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Reduce to low speed, then add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- Transfer 1/2 cup of the frosting to a small bowl and stir in the dulce de leche until smooth. Cover both frostings with plastic wrap and keep at room temperature until ready to assemble the cake.
- For the candied banana chips, warm the maple syrup in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until it just starts bubbling. Add the banana chips and cook, tossing and stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the chips have absorbed almost all the maple syrup and are browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately transfer the banana chips to a baking sheet, spread in an even layer and cool completely. Once cool, roughly chop.
- Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Spread about 3/4 cup plain cream cheese frosting all over the top of the cake.
- Dollop the dulce de leche frosting and remaining plain frosting on top, then use a small offset spatula to swirl both frostings together in a swooping design, making sure the frosting goes all the way to the edges of the cake. Top with the chopped candied banana chips.

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.

Tips:
- Use very ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This very chocolate banana cake is a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. For a richer cake, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. For a more intense banana flavor, use overripe bananas. And for a fun twist, try adding a layer of chocolate ganache or peanut butter frosting. No matter how you choose to make it, this cake is sure to be a hit!
