About

This cake is a tried-and-true crowd pleaser! How can it not be? The combination of bananas and chocolate is divine, and while it may look fancy, the batter comes together in a snap. The frosting on top is my all-time favorite milk chocolate frosting. It’s featured on my blog, Sally’s Baking Addiction, and readers frequently tell me it’s the best frosting they’ve ever had!
