This is a Banana Cake with Mocha Ganache topping for all my banana lovers out there. It sure is a kegemarane in our home over banana bread, cookies and pies. This one is at the top of my list of kegemarane desserts, but this recipe surely takes the cake!
When I was growing up, mom always made this cake with our over ripe bananas. It was so sweet and I loved how dense it was. It reminds me of banana bread but much moister.
Mom would always dust the cake squares with powdered sugar. Dad was never fond of frosting.
I loved this cake with whipped cream on it. Sometimes even in season some strawberries. The cake really was so versatile to do many things with.
This cake certainly reminds me of a dense banana bread, but more of a cake.
The chocolate ganache really makes a perfect compliment to the taste of the this delicious cake.
For all those who love nuts, that would be the perfect addition on top. I left them off due to allergies.
I would highly suggest chopped pistachios or roasted chopped almonds on this decadent ganache.
I really don't know a better combination other than chocolate and bananas. It's an addicting banana lovers dream.
I even lover chocolate nutella covered bananas, we make them often.
The mocha just makes the hint of flavor enhanced in these banana cakes. The mocha ganache enriches the flavor of the cake and brings the banana cake to a new level.
I also have little tip for you, you can make cupcakes with this batter and freeze them unfrosted. Take them out for guests and keep them on hand!
