Oreo Cake with Milk Chocolate Frosting.

Had two birthdays on the same day and decided to get all of my baking done at once. Banana was not yet a flavor I had tried but was interested when I read about it in a cupcake baking book. I figured that I like banana bread so cupcakes should be similar in being yummy. Luckily my predictions were right and the cupcakes ended up with a light and fluffy flavor, much less dense than normal banana bread. I thought about pairing the cupcake with a milk chocolate frosting but then thought that it might have been too heavy for the light cupcake. I should have just gone with the chocolate because the marshmallow buttercream ended up being a little too heavy anyway. Next time I will definitely try the chocolate on top.
