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.

  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
