You guys have probably figured out by now that I’m a total sucker for anything peanut butter and chocolate. It’s pretty much my jam. I love that flavor combination so much and the only way I’ve found to improve upon it is with banana. Banana and peanut butter together? Yes. Banana and chocolate together? Yes. Banana, peanut butter, and chocolate? Triple yes!
This cake is crazy easy to make and uses three lovely ripe bananas so if you’ve got those lying around, you’re in luck. I used buttermilk for a wonderfully moist cake and tender crumb and then topped the whole thing with my favorite peanut butter chocolate glaze that you may remember from the Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pound Cake recipe earlier this year.
The rich glaze makes my mouth water it’s so good. I love how easy it is too! Just chocolate chips and peanut butter melted together in the microwave – yum!
I topped the whole cake with Reese’s miniature peanut butter cups…because I can. Y’all know I’ve got a serious addiction when it comes to Reese’s. You can check out a plethora of Reese’s recipes here.
This Reese’s Peanut Butter Banana Cake is made in a 13×9 inch pan which makes it wonderfully easy and perfect for crowds. Definitely a cake that will disappear fast at any party!

Instructions
Peanut Butter Banana Cake
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Spray a 13x9 inch pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.

This is honestly one of the best cake recipes I have ever made! I was looking for a cake recipe that had the combination of chocolate, peanut butter and banana all in one. I made this yesterday and the boys (my brother, husband and uncle) have it half gone already! Truly a 5 star cake!
