Chocolate Banana Cake

I do a lot of baking with bananas since that is the most common fruit at home and if it's about to go waste, I bake something with it. This is one such bake. Bananas and chocolate goes very well together and if you add some cinnamon and walnut to the mix, it just becomes too delicious!

There are plenty of banana bakes in my blog as this is a favorite at home and it always comes out so well. This recipe is from joy of baking and as usual it's a winner! The cake turned out so moist, dense and fudgy, almost like a brownie!
