Chocolate Banana Cream Cake

Moist chocolate cake with a touch of banana, vanilla cream and fudge drizzle!


I had one banana left on the counter and wasn't sure what to do with it.  I wanted to make something different for dessert and while looking on the internet I came across this Chocolate Banana Cream Cake.  I changed a few things to suit our liking and I must say, it's a delicious cake!  The banana is not overwhelming and the flavors blend so well together.  It reminds me of a banana cream pie and a chocolate covered banana all rolled into one!
