A keeper! Easy to follow Worth the effort
It's easy to make literally anywhere. At the time, I was transitioning from the USA to Korea, and my school-age daughter and I were staying in the lodge at Camp Walker. We made this for Thanksgiving with just a small range top and microwave. Fantastic.

Amazing, easy to prepare, and the ability to "customize" the flavor to your own liking. I backed off a little on the salt and it was perfect. Might add some bacon next time to offset the slight sour taste of fresh asparagus. Love it!

Amazing. I was stationed in Germany for 13 years and I loved this quark based cake, but until today, never tried (dared) make it for myself. Well, the spirit moved me and I decided to go for it on my own. I followed this recipe to the letter and I give it 5 stars, easily. The flavor is fantastic, the texture is moist, the lemon taste s faint, yet gives it the little tart taste you expect, without having to grate a lemon peel into the batter. Like others have mentioned here however, 60 minutes was definitely not enough at 350 degrees, not at all. Mine took a good 80-90 minutes to firm up before I pulled it out. other than adjusting the cook time, this recipe is perfect. I will definitely be making this again and again.

MIKE reviewed iggytakahashi’s Banana Chocolate Chip Bread. 07/23/2013
Easy to make, crowd pleaser. I have been looking for a banana bread recipe forever that would turn out moist and have some extra "pizazz", like the flavor from the chocolate. This is definitely a winner, and if I can make it, anyone can!
