Chocolate Banana Cake

When I saw my friend baked this Chocolate Banana Cake, I knew I have got to try it for it looks so inviting.

Learning experience:

The batter was a little too thick, so I added in 2 tbsp of milk to it.

Overall, the texture is very good.  Soft and yet light.  My family enjoyed it so much and so were my friends.

I also added in more mini chocolate chip as I wanted it to be fully covered by the chips.

This recipe is a keeper.   Thanks A for sharing this great recipe.
