Observations

Additions: You can add dried fruits, cocoa powder, or chocolate chips.

Adding the banana to the recipe: You can add it at the beginning, before the eggs, or at the end. The first option will make a smoother cake, as the banana will be well incorporated. The second option (chosen for this recipe) means the banana will mix in less well, resulting in more "chunks" that will add more moistness to the dessert.
