Over the years I have started keeping banana in my kitchen, sometimes for a nice cream, sometimes banana bread and sometimes for smoothies. My Banana bread (I will post that recipe soon) and this Eggless Banana Snack cake recipe includes chocolate chips and cinnamon as I think that helps combat the strong banana smell which I still do not love. This recipe is very flexible, it is eggless that means Vegetarian, and can easily be made dairy free so that means Vegan too. So Yay! You can eat cake and help Save the earth! ;)

I had some ganache left over at home and I put it in a zip lock and zigzagged it on top of the cake to make it pretty, but this step is totally optional, if you do so remember to use a vegan frosting if you need to.
