I love bananas, I love chocolate, I even love stuff that's healthy, but I couldn't stand to eat more than a bite of this cake... sorry:( Not sure what happened, but all I could taste was a really strong molasses flavor.

This was great. I made it exactly as stated and it turned out perfectly for me. Even my kids enjoyed it! We are thinking of putting some vanilla icing on top just for fun. It certainly doesn't *need* it, we just think it would go well! :) The spices are ever so subtle and the cocoa doesn't over power either. It still tastes like banana cake which works well for us. Thank you for sharing a great recipe.

I find it relaxing, but I don't feel like I'm just lying around, because I am actually doing something. I started baking a few years ago. Just making cookies and that kind of thing for my family, then I started baking more for the holidays and things like that. I love making things that are really good and everybody wants the recipe. I like to eat healthy so it always a challenge to find recipes that are relatively fat free, but that also taste good. I hope you enjoy some of the recipes that I have posted.
