From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This cake has many things going for it. Not only can children make it, it's also perfect to prepare when you are working in an ill-equipped summer cottage kitchen. The cake requires no mixing bowls or beaters and it's made in the same pan in which it bakes. Need more? The chocolate chips that top the cake make frosting unnecessary, and, as these things go, it is relatively inexpensive to make. It's also a great way to use up nasty over-ripe bananas. If you are looking for a serviceable cake that has mass appeal, I hope you'll give this simple creation a try. The recipe comes from the Betty Crocker website, and while it won't make your reputation as a cook, it won't harm it either. Here is how the cake is made.

It looks just wonderful!
The cake sounds like a fun one to try Mary! I have to chuckle, made my first attempt at cilantro lime rice Sunday and was ~underwhelmed~ to say the least... Here I see your Southwestern Cilantro Rice in the 'you might also likes', I've bookmarked it to try-thanks:@)
This cake looks so moist and chocolatey!

Thanks for such a wonderful easy cake to do! I shared your recipe on my blog!
This looks good, although I think the chocolate chips are unnecessary (I don't frost my banana bread, after all). It would be a good camp recipe, too. I love super simple recipes. Keep 'em coming!
