Extremely dense loaf. The chocolate topping was a very nice touch -- I may add it atop my regular banana bread recipe. I won't, however, make this cake recipe again.

This recipe is so good it is ridiculous. The cake baked up nicely browned, with crisp edges and moist inside. I used 2 bananas instead of the one called for. Make sure your bananas are VERY ripe - they will be sweeter. I also added a handful of chopped pecans. A great loaf cake for gift giving. Wrap in aluminum foil (sans chocolate topping) and freeze for later. I will definitely add this one into my rotation.
