This was a super easy cake recipe and it is a WONDERFUL change from banana bread-although it pretty much tastes the same with a little bit of chocolate. Whenever someone needs a cake quick I'll make this! And I didn't use any frosting, but I guarantee you it would only add to the cake!

This was nice change to the regular banana cake, very tasty, it was hard to stop at 1 piece so we didn't.I didn't have any dry milk powder so i used FF flavored coffee creamer (powder ) worked well.

This is a really delicious and moist cake. I made it for a family gathering and they loved it. My little grandson really gobbled it up and he usually doesn't go for dessert that much. I used my own frosting recipe instead of the one printed here.

This cake is quick, easy, and satisfies a sweet tooth! Tastes like a moist banana cake with a hint of chocolate in the background. It is light textured and good 'as is' without any topping. I used half whole wheat pastry flour and unbleached white to equal the flour measurement. Husband liked his serving in a bowl with some almond milk poured over it. Would also be good with a cream cheese or chocolate or vanilla butter-cream frosting.
