The addition of mashed banana to the cake lends a moistness, while a touch of cinnamon brings out a greater depth of flavor. The chocolate glaze is simple to make, melting together only chocolate and butter, but I could eat it by the spoonful (and I usually do). The glaze spreads smooth when slightly warm and holds its shape like a dream. This cake is a good option to reach for when you are looking for a sweet snack and, if your kitchen is anything like mine, it will disappear before you are ready to see it go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>Banana Snacking Cake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Yields  9 x 13-inch cake<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>Banana Cake<br \/><\/strong>2 1\/2 cups (300 grams) all-purpose flour<br \/>1 tablespoon baking powder<br \/>1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon<br \/>1\/2 teaspoon salt<br \/>1\/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature<br \/>1\/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar<br \/>3\/4 cup (150 grams) brown sugar, packed<br \/>2 large eggs<br \/>3 medium ripe bananas, mashed<br \/>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br \/>3\/4 cup (180 mL) buttermilk (or regular milk)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>Chocolate Glaze<br \/><\/strong>6 ounces (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped<br \/>1\/2 cup (113 grams) butter, cubed<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
