This is such a lovely cake oh and sooooo chocolatey too! :) Even better that it is so quick and easy to whip up and be out of the oven in half an hour! It also has no oil or butter but the apple sauce makes it very moist.
I think we could even go as far as saying it must be healthy as it has bananas in it! ;)

Made this for my kiddies for school snacks was really yummy and freezes well. Had to cook it abit longer then suggested time but totally worth it. Great cake when u need to use up bananas that are turning brown.
