The name of this cake definitely does not do it justice. It is so much more than a banana cake. A beautiful 3 layer cake that, although it has numerous steps, is well worth the effort. Filled with a creamy peanut butter filling and milk chocolate ganache, then covered with ganache and finally drenched in a chocolate glaze. Who could ask for more?

This is a perfect cake for a special occasion and if you're willing to give yourself a little challenge, then go for it! If not- just give me a call- I love a challenge!!!
You can find the recipe at Baked Sunday Mornings.
Beautiful job, Yael! It looks soooo yummy, and I'm glad to hear it was really delicious. I'm about to make mine and I'm nervous about that frosting! Yours looks like it came out just right for spreading. :)
ReplyDeletethanks dafna!!
DeleteGorgeous! I miss Baked Sunday Mornings and just may have to start baking with you guys again!
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome Yael! Did you find the cake layers dry at all?
ReplyDeleteNo Robyn, the cake itself was actually quite moist!
DeleteRobyn, mine was a bit dry and crumbly. I think it was because my oven temp was jacked up, but it's something I'd like to play with...
DeleteLooks Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWasn't this just delicious? I need to work on the frosting but the flavors were wonderful! Yours looks wonderful!
