Method

  • For the cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x13 pan and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla and mix to combine. Finally add in mashed banans. Stir until just combined. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients. Pour in your wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Scoop out half of your batter into a separate bowl and combine that with your cocoa powder. Spread cocoa mixture on the bottom of your pan. Spread remaining batter over the cocoa layer. Swirl batter with a knife.
  • Bake for 25 minutes until or until edges begin to brown. Allow cake to cool before frosting. Sprinkle chopped candies over cake after frosting it.
  • For the frosting:
  • Beat butter in the bowl of a stand mixer until creamy. Slowly add in powdered sugar. Gradually add in milk and cocoa, alternating between the two. Mix in vanilla and malt powder until frosting is creamy and easily spread.
