Directions to make Chocolate Frosted Banana Cake

In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet. Donft overmix! It should be a bit lumpy. Spoon batter into the well oiled bundt pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes until a knife comes out clean.
FROSTING: In a medium bowl or food processor, whisk or mix together the cocoa, butter, banana, milk and vanilla. While whisking add the icing sugar until combined and smooth.
