TWD: Black and White Banana Loaf

In our house, we have a banana cake recipe. It was my great grandmother's (I think -- mom, correct me if I'm wrong here). We love this recipe...it's pretty straightforward, nothing fancy, but we LOVE it. I don't really mess with it, and don't really make any other recipe for fear of backlash. I mean, Ugg really loves the banana cake, and doesn't always appreciate any kind of artistic interpretation with his food.

So....when I saw that Ashlee's pick this week's was a banana loaf, I was concerned, but excited. I mean, I've been making the SAME recipe my whole life...and yes, it's GOOD...but....what about VARIETY (don't tell Ugg I said "variety"...he likes what he likes!)? What about a recipe that I can't make by heart?

So...how does it stack up, you ask? Very well, thank you. I really loved this recipe, and although mine probably could have used a few more minutes in the oven, it was supremely tasty!

So, definitely give this one a try. You can get the recipe from Ashlee's blog A Year in the Kitchen

Just to note, I used semisweet chocolate, because although Dorie loves her bittersweet...I like my chocolate just a bit sweeter.

So, enjoy this one! I think I did pretty well on my first marbling attempt!
