Heavens do we eat a whole lot of bananas around here or what? We do! We really do!

Thank goodness there are so many recipes that use ripe bananas, don’t you agree? Banana Pound Cake & Milk Chocolate Glaze is a great way to use up a couple of bananas for sure!

Can I interest you in a slice or two of this heavenly bliss? Probably don’t have to twist your arm do I? I hope not!

It’s so moist; balanced mellow banana flavor, not too much, not too little! Nice texture, buttery tones and it’s delish!

Since chocolate is pretty much a staple in our house, of course, some delicious milk chocolate glaze had to be applied and whoa-wee! Boy, was that every delightful!

Don’t you just love a nice blanket of decadent milk chocolate glaze with anything, pretty much? *Shaking head, YES!*

Umm…I made a pig of myself. Sorry? Nope, not sorry. 🙂

My thighs probably mad at me though…ugh! If you want to do a lightened up version of pound cake, try this Vanilla Greek Yogurt & Olive Oil Pound Cake and substitute the vanilla Greek Yogurt with banana Greek Yogurt. Drizzle milk chocolate on top if you wish.

So, next time, you get a hankering for a banana and chocolate temptation, you might want to try this Banana Pound Cake & Milk Chocolate Glaze.

It will not disappoint.

Here’s the recipe! Enjoy the deliciousness with tea, coffee, breakfast and snacking! Wonderful to share with friends and family!
