when bumpkin told me she was posting a CAKE she baked for baking tuesdays i knew i’d have to take it up a notch…. she could be the next DUFF 🙂 i had some bananas that were screaming to be used up. when i searched through my banana recipes i debated between this one and one with browned butter frosting — the husband seemed to want something with chocolate so i went with this one! bananas and nutella??? it had to be a winner! this definitely doesn’t taste like a dense banana bread – but more like a banana cake as the recipe title states. i also halved the frosting recipe — i couldn’t stomache using 1.5 cups of nutella… YUM! is the verdict!
