Preparation

  • In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until smooth.

Baking

  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

Preparing the Fudge Cream

  • Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to boil.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until they melt and create a smooth mixture.
  • Whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Allow the fudge cream to cool slightly.

Assembling the Cake
