Banana sheet cake with cacao nibs and chocolate fudge frosting! A delicious banana cake studded with @suncorefoods cacao nibs and slathered with rich chocolate fudge frosting! A perfect snack cake for any time of the day!
It’s a one bowl olive oil cake! The batter comes together so quickly. The frosting is so fudgy and delicious! Make sure to use a good quality chocolate bar. I highly recommend chocolate bars instead of chocolate chips for the frosting recipe!
