Chocolate Banana Zebra Cake

This is a soft and moist cake made with ripe bananas. This recipe uses oil instead of butter and that makes the cake more moist. I love the combination of chocolate and banana, there are too many recipes in this blog with a chocolate and banana combination and it is a never fail combo especially with a hint of cinnamon. Top it with some chocolate ganache and you have a treat in your hands!

Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake

Triple Chocolate Mousse Cake is a delicious three layers of chocolate goodness! There is a dark and rich dark chocolate mousse layer, a smooth milk chocolate mousse layer and a soft white chocolate mousse layer! All three layers together make this cake rich, tasty and divine! When you take a spoonful of this cake, it simply melts in your mouth! I love mousse cakes and make it quite often. I have posted a few mousse cakes earlier and I made this to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we all loved it.

The cake is actually pretty simple to make but it involves a few steps and it takes a little while to get it all done. For me, I love baking cakes and I thoroughly enjoyed making this cake!

I used an eight-inch springform pan to make this cake and I built the sides of the pan with baking paper as I was not sure if the whole cake will fit in my pan. If you pan has tall sides, you can skip this step.
