Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting
Banana Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting
A moist, tender banana cake made with ripe mashed bananas and dotted throughout with mini chocolate chips, so every slice gets a little hit of chocolate. It’s finished with a thick layer of light, fluffy peanut butter frosting that’s sweet, a touch salty, and the perfect partner for the banana. Simple to make and easy to love, it’s just as welcome at a weeknight dessert as it is at a birthday or potluck.
