Chocolate Mocha Banana Cake

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with this German Mole Cake - Maulwurfkuchen. It is a very popular cake that many are preparing it using a store-bought Mole Cake Mix. This is a very easy cake that can be made from scratch, which I will share with you. I made my own recipe, a German Mocha Mole Cake - Chocolate Mocha Banana Cake, combining one of my favorite chocolate cake recipes with fresh bananas and mocha whipped cream.
