Dark Chocolate Banana Poke Cake Recipe
This dark chocolate banana poke cake is inspired from my friend, Meshelle. One of my closest co-workers, that I used to work with, Ruben, would bring his wife’s chocolate cake to our potlucks all the time. Meshelle’s dark chocolate cake with chocolate frosting was always requested at every single potluck. It was SO delicious!
Decadent Chocolate Cake
This chocolate cake is made like Meshelle always made hers except I changed it up a bit and added a delicious banana cream cheese filling and topped it with cool whip, banana slices and crushed vanilla wafers.
