This is another popular cake among bloggers...
Nothing will goes wrong when chocolate and banana added together, a very soft, moist and flavourful cake. When talk about the cake texture, i don't really appreciate it as I find it was too soft (Chinese better describe this -软绵绵), maybe due to i changed a bit of the recipe.

looks nice, so tempting esp the choc chip topping.
This cake very popular....celebrity cake lah! LOL!
呵呵,大家都在做,你的也很棒:)
Same here I couldn't leave comment from yesterday noon time till this morning. Blogger comment system seems not stable recently.
You cake looks very yummy! Same like you actually I prefer more "sturctured" cake than those 软绵绵cake。
Perhaps you want to replace cake flour with plain flour? I find that sometimes using cake flour is not nessarily yield a nicer cake than normal plain flour. The low gluten may make the cake texture too "soggy".
I made another version of this using "muffin method", recipe can be found in my blog. You may want to give it a try.
Your cake looks yummy! If you do not like the very soft texture, try replacing cake flour with all-purpose flour. I usually use our local plain flour. Hope this helps.
So far, no problem with the blogger comments, not since two weeks ago!
Have a nice day!
There's no problem with me commenting on other's blogs.
I think plain flour might give you the texture, but then, bakes with banana and baking soda are always very soft.
This is the rave, these days. Will KIV this. This morning I had trouble leaving comment on Zoe's blog!
你做得很棒哦！
Chocolate bottom and top. Great idea and looks nice too.
