Double Chocolate Banana Cake

Where are my chocolate lovers?? This cake is for you! It’s super chocolaty, but not extreme. It’s full of banana flavor, but not too much and it’s so so so delicious right out of the oven!

I had some browning bananas, yet again, on the counter this am. It seems they turn so quickly and sometimes, I just can’t keep up! So instead of making another big batch of my favorite chocolate chip banana muffins I made this chocolate banana cake instead. It’s so decadent, but not in an overly rich kind of way. It’s just the right amount of decadence in a cake you’d want with your morning coffee or tea. Know what I mean?!

Whip this up on a weekend morning and your house will smell better than any candle you could burn. Seriously, this cake is just that good!

What’s your favorite way to use brown bananas? I have to many ways I use mine (HERE) but would love to hear yours! Let me know in the comments below!
