* I had punctured few holes in the prepared cake while cooling it off and poured some chocolate sauce over it to get a marbled effect

** you can add walnuts to it after adding chocolate for a walnut chocolate banana cake!

*** I have used both baking powder and soda since chocolate is being used for this cake recipe
