I like this recipe because the tangerine pure gives this cake such a bright flavor and also makes it moist. This simple recipe is sure to brighten up any drizzly, gray day with its bright citrus, chocolate, and sweet banana flavor combination. Use those overripe bananas to create this family-friendly quick bread in minutes.
