Double Chocolate Banana Cake with Chocolate Frosting

5 from 1 vote
Light and fluffy chocolate frosting tops a moist chocolate banana cake. I love a mild flavoured banana cake, so the combination of chocolate creates a fabulous bake! This comes together really easily, and the banana cake recipe is super simple and delicious in itself!
