Muffin, cake , bread….for a long time I have looked at these 3 and wondered which one applies to my current bake. I hate the thought of calling it bread, cake…hmmm, no. So muffin it is !! Sounds healthy, filling, un-sinful and perfect for this banana recipe. This confusion and absolute naming block with regards…

BANANA AND CHOCOLATE SWIRL CAKE
