Very easy to make. I liked the combination of ingredients very much. The only thing I will do next time is double up on the peanut butter filling. Thanks for sharing :-)

This was awesome. The store didn't have dark cocoa so I used regular & it was still fabulous. Very rich. This one's a keeper!

My husband gives this recipe 5 stars! He said this is his new favorite cake. I thought it was different with the bannana flavored cake and peanut butter filling. The cake was so moist. The frosting went well with this. Thank you for the unique recipe!
