🍌🍫 Two-Tone Banana Cake — Soft, Fragrant & Perfectly Moist!

1. Prepare Dry Mix
   Sift together cake flour, U-88 baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
2. Beat Fat Ingredients
   In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter. Add EC-25K, cream cheese, sugar, and salt and mix on low speed until just combined.
3. Add Remaining Ingredients
   Add the sifted dry ingredients, along with eggs, milk, mashed banana, and banana flavor, mixing just until everything is incorporated.
4. Whip and Develop Structure
   Switch to medium speed and mix for 2 minutes.
5. Remove Air Bubbles
   Return to low speed and mix for 1 minute to eliminate excess air.
6. Separate for Cocoa Swirl
   Divide ⅓ of the batter and mix with cocoa powder, diced dried banana, and chocolate chips.
7. Create Marble Pattern
   Alternate spoonfuls of the plain batter and cocoa batter into a 7 × 11 × 1¼-inch pan.
   Use a skewer or chopstick to swirl the batters and create a marbled pattern.
8. Bake
   Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 45 minutes, or until cooked through.
9. Cool & Decorate
   Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing or decorating as desired.
