This Chocolate Banana Chiffon Cake is a fluffy, chocolate banana dream. The chocolate chiffon cake is filled with chocolate banana cream - inspired by Cooking Tree 쿠킹트리.  

I loved how this cake turned out in terms of the flavour and design. It's my first time filling chiffon cake with cream, which can be quite tricky as the cake might tear if you fill it too much. Not only is it a unique decoration technique that Cooking Tree created, it adds flavour in an innovative way.

Who would have thought that you can fill a chiffon cake like a choux puff? 😄

Overall, I love how this cake turned out in terms of the flavour and design. My hubby is a fan of the chocolate and banana combination, so I am glad to have a new recipe for him! 🥰
