Chocolate Cake with Banana Foster Filling

Oh man! I am so super pumped for this recipe. It has been really hard to not eat all of this cake in one sitting. It has also been hard to not share a million sneak peek pictures with you all.

I have the honor of contributing this recipe to an awesome celebration that Simple Mills is throwing because they are now being sold in 1,000 stores. They asked how I could celebrate simply and show how celebrations do not need to be elaborate to be delicious. In case you aren’t familiar with this company, Simple Mills baking mix is one of the only almond flour based baking mixes on the market. These mixes have no added preservatives and all of their products are gluten-free and even packaged in a designated gluten free facility.

I have a very special place in my heart for bananas foster. I am not really sure what it is about it but I LOVE it. It really is the easiest thing to throw together but every time I eat it I feel like it’s the most magical tasting dish ever and I knew I wanted to incorporate it in this cake.

As elaborate as this cake may look it really was quite simple. The mix takes just a few minutes to throw together. While the cake is baking you can whip of the banana foster filling and whipped cream, if desired. You have the option of creating a layer by slicing the cake in half or you can just put it all on top and eat it while warm. It is up to you and how you chose to celebrate simply!

Enjoy!
