I took someone's earlier advice and created the cake mix myself. I also added 1/2 cup of sweetened coconut flakes. I also added two bananas instead of just one because it seemed like it needed more moisture. It was fantastic and a big hit at lunch!

This is fantastic! After reading other reviews I decided to make a few changes and used Devil's Food cake mix and 3 and a half bananas to bring out that real banana flavour. I had to almost double the baking time, but when it was done it turned out dense, moist, and so delicious! I made this as a birthday cake for a family of chefs who said that this was their favourite cake ever!

Great base recipe. I used a Devil's Food cake mix and 2 over-ripe bananas. I left out the chocolate chips (I didn't have any on hand). I baked two 9 inch round cakes and made a layered cake with chocolate frosting. It made a delightful birthday cake.

Excellent. As another reviewer, I used a devil's food cake mix, a little less cocoa and 4 small bananas. Very moist with just a hint of banana. Do not think frosting is necessary - just a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

This recipe is awesome! I made the cake for my husband for his birthday/Father's Day and he loved it! I went ahead and used the white cake mix, I used 4 small bananas and that was perfect..and I put dark chocolate frosting in the middle of the layers (2 8" pans), on top, and all over, and sprinkled the powdered sugar on top. Thank you for the the easiest, most delicious cake ever!!

I've been making this for a long time. Only difference is I add three bananas and use Pillsbury Devil's Food cake mix. It really is moist. Even better with fresh whipped cream.

The cake is pretty good. I followed the recipe, but why not just use a chocolate cake mix instead? I didn't get the rich chocolate flavour by adding the cocoa powder to the white mix but it was still good. As for 'one' banana, well I used one cup as I would for any of my banana recipes and it turned out really well. The end result was a super moist banana /chocolate cake! THX

I recently made this cake for a dinner party...it was a success. I omitted the cocoa powder and did end up frosting it with a whipped butter cream frosting. We really liked the subtle banana flavor...not too overpowering, which we happen to like. I think I will probably make this cake again and again, trying different flavors of cake mix each time. Thanks for the great recipe!

My family did not like this cake at all. I added 3 bananas instead of one to make the banana flavor stronger and I still couldn't taste it. The cocoa was way to overpowering. I would reduce it by at least half. The cook time was off too. I cooked it for the time listed and it was barely set. Sorry, this one's not a keeper for me.

With a few modifications, they were delicious. I used 2 bananas, left out the cocoa and used 1.5 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips instead. I also made them into cupcakes (baked for 18 mins) and frosted them with a butter, milk, vanilla and powdered sugar frosting. Yum!

This was very disappointing. Could not taste the bananas, even though I used 2. And even though I wondered why you would use a white cake mix and then add cocoa instead of just using a chocolate cake mix in the first place, I was scared to deviate from the recipe so I did it. But since I ended up with what is basically a plain chocolate cake, I think I would have been better off using a choc. cake mix to begin with - - at least then it would have been a rich, dark color!

MAKE THIS CAKE!! This is awesome, I love it. I had 2 bananas so I put them both in. We just served it with cool whip, no icing. Seriously...it's delicious, moist, and substantial. So make it. I'm not kidding.

Nice light cake. I didn't have any sour cream, so substituted vanilla yogurt. To cut down the fat, I used half oil and half applesauce and had a ton of frozen bananas so used two in this recipe. Worked out fine.

Not being the best cake maker in the world, I found this easy and successful. I used a coffee/chocolate icing and it was lovely, especially the next day.

This is a great cake, very moist and dense. I didn't have a cake mix on hand, so I just found a recipe for a white cake in a cookbook and combined the dry ingredients, then added everything from this recipe. The dry ingredients I added were 2 cups all purpose flour, 1 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tsp salt and 3 1/2 tsp baking powder. Turned out fabulous! Highly recommend it, with or without frosting. Will make again.
