What a delicious cake, the texture was moist and the chocolate-banana combo made it especially tasty. This was also very easy to make. However, I reduced the sugar to 1 cup (as the chocolate added to the sweetness), and I also reduced the amount of chocolate chips so that it won't overshadow the banana flavor. My cake took less than an hour to bake as well. Overall an awesome recipe, thanks!!

I think there was too much chocolate chips that it kinda overpowered the banana flavor. It also took longer than 1 1/2 hours for me to bake it. I had to put foil over it during the last 20 minutes or so to prevent it from overburning. But I love that it was soft and moist! Consistency wise was great. =)

I was disappointed with this recipe. Felt it was a waste of a bag of chocolate chips. I agree w/ Shasha about the baking time and over browning, mine even spilled over in the oven making a smelly mess.
