Banana Cake With Chocolate Frosting

I LOVE cake, but don't like the "colossal cake just waiting for you to eat it all," fuss, and mess that come along with it :) 

This cake is SO simple and speedy to prepare. It is a sheet cake that is way easier than bars or cookies.

And it is a banana and chocolate cake. Who doesn't love bananas and chocolate! It is a winning combination.
