Banana Cake with Chocolate Glaze is a classic cake with rich, moist banana cake layers, accented with cinnamon. The whole thing is covered in a thick chocolate glaze. Delicious!
Chow just posted an interesting article about male ‘foodies’ in the kitchen and how they aren’t really helping out at all when it comes down to dinner. It explains that men can sometimes get overly involved in their projects, spending more time analyzing the data then cooking a real meal. And how they can bring an ‘Iron Chef’ attitude to the kitchen, wanting to compete rather then feed the kids.
I have seen men take more time thinking than doing, but I am not affected by this male ‘foodie’ phenomenon. Actually, I have quite the opposite problem. The more I become interested in food, the fewer recipes Handsome seems to remember, or want to cook, stating that I would just make it better anyway. Could this be because he works more, harder, and goes to school most weeknights? Probably. But every once in a while, it is nice to come home to something someone else prepared for you.
Even if it is steak-ums and macaroni and cheese. I’m OK with that. 😉
Especially when there’s banana cake with chocolate glaze for dessert.

So, would a man have been unable to make this simple banana cake without first trying to figure out how to inject pure whole bananas into a batter mixture using a hadron collider (imagine that mess) or is this man ‘foodie’ handicap all just an excuse for some men never being asked to help out in the kitchen?

That's exactly what my husband does! When he wants a certain food, he always begs me to make it because he says I always make it better. But he is very talented himself. Haha, anyhow, I want this cake so so bad! Chocolate!
