Chocolate Banana Cake (Hanna McLean/Daily Vancouver)
So tall that it can’t even stand up vertically, the Society Chocolate & Banana Cake abides by the laws of gravity. It has a banana cake with caramelized bananas and chocolate cake, and it is also infused with a milk chocolate mousse layer. The cake is coated in a thick layer of dark chocolate glaze on the outside and comes served with a scoop of vanilla Earnest Ice Cream.
