I was looking for a recipe similar to TooJays banana dream cake when I came across this recipe. Though it doesn't have the chocolate ontop it's delicious! I could even put a nice chocolate ganache ontop and it would be perfect. The am a regular baker at my house so this recipe didn't seem too difficult to me. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good banana cake recipe! Today will be my second time making this delicious treat!

The cake is a simple banana cake and my frosting separated. I consider myself to be an advanced baker and I had bananas I needed to use. I had all the ingredients for this so I tried it. It's good, but nothing great. The frosting tasted great except it separated so was ruined.
