Chocolate Banana Cake
NOPE...I can't finish off the bananas the other day and used half of them to make this cake. My boy doesn't like plain banana cake. He said it's BORING ! So, something need to be done....... This is a simple & quick and yet addictive cake. I simply top it with white chocolate ganache and toasted coconut for a quick spread. Right, my boy didn't make a single sound. It's rather a good sign. :o)
