I tried this but it came out super soggy. Not sure what I did wrong 😕.
This cake is amazing! So moist and the bananas are divine!
Yummy!!! Best cake ever! So good I ate half. 😋
I substituted almond milk for buttermilk, and it didn’t taste right. Stick to the recipe!
I don’t like bananas. Can I use apples instead? Just wondering.
Using apples sounds like a great idea! It’ll give it a different flavor but still be yummy. Let us know how it turns out!
Tastes like heaven! My family couldn’t get enough of it. Will definitely make again! 🍌🍫
LOL, upside down cake?? I just flipped it and made it right side up! 😂
Really easy to follow tho I messed up the caramel; it burnt! I’ll try again.
Yummy! But what is 350°F? I just used high heat, lol. It works too!
LOL, high heat works too? That’s kinda brave! I always follow the temp exactly, but glad it turned out yummy for you! 🌟
350°F is important! If you use high heat, the cake might burn or not cook good inside. Just sayin’.
Easy to make! I didn’t have buttermilk, so I used regular milk with a bit of vinegar instead. Still turned out great!
Flop! My cake came out super dense. I think I messed up somewhere. Any tips for fluffier cake?
Nah, not for me. Too sweet and sticky. Not a big fan of banana either.
I get that! Bananas can be super polarizing. Have you tried it with other fruits instead? Maybe apples or berries would work better for you!
I tried making this and it turned out a bit soggy. Maybe I added too much buttermilk?
Not sure if I liked it. The texture felt off, and I thought it needed more chocolate. But my kids gobbled it up.
This cake was absolutely delicious! The caramelized bananas on top just made it heavenly. Definitely a keeper!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! The caramelized bananas really do take it to another level. What a brilliant idea to try this recipe!
It sounds good, but I’m not sure about the chocolate and bananas together. Seems like a weird combo to me.
I tried making this but ended up with burnt bananas… Whoops! Maybe I need to watch the oven more closely next time!

This cake is absolutely heavenly! The caramelized bananas on top are to die for!
I dunno, caramelized bananas? Sounds weird. What if they turn mushy? 🤔
Totally agree! The bananas make it so much better! I can’t wait to try making it myself!
What’s the deal with the bananas? I used a different fruit instead and it was gross. This recipe is misleading!
So good! I didn’t have buttermilk, so I used regular milk and it still turned out great!
