Chocolate Banana Butterscotch Cake
Try saying this three times fast! Chocolate Banana Butterscotch Cake. It’s quite a mouthful for a dessert name, but I couldn’t resist the combination of these three flavors. The original recipe doesn’t include the chocolate. I really like banana and chocolate together, so I thought it would be a great addition to the butterscotch.
So, how’s it taste?
I really, really enjoyed this cake. The bananas made it super moist. The butterscotch ended up taking a backseat that I could only taste just a tiny hint of it. The chocolate and banana became the stars of the show and tasted so good together in this cake. I was surprised the butterscotch didn’t shine more, so next time I may leave out the chocolate, or leave out the butterscotch! This is one cake you can experiment with a little to find which combination suits you best. I did have a hard time with the glaze from the original recipe. So I used a different one that turned out great.
