Peanut Butter and Banana Cake with Chocolate Frosting

I wish I could claim this cake as my own, but I found it online and I can't remember where!  The frosting is another recipe I got from a friend years and years ago.  I just put the cake with the frosting and call it mine and DELICIOUS!

CAKE:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
½  cup buttermilk (or just regular milk with a splash of vinegar)
3 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
½   cup peanut butter
2 cups flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½  teaspoon cinnamon
¼  teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet dark chocolate chip morsels

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In the large bowl , beat together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla, peanut butter.
In a separate bowl (or your mixing cup if you don’t want to dirty another bowl), combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Add flour and buttermilk alternately to the batter. Stir in bananas. When well-blended, stir in chocolate chips. 
Pour batter into a greased 9×13 pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
FROSTING:
 cup milk
 cup butter
 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet dark chocolate chip morsels
Combine butter, milk and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and let boil for 45 seconds. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla & chocolate chips until smooth and shiny.  Immediately pour over cooled cake.  (This is great over brownies too!) Let cool completely to set. 

Sprinkle chopped peanuts or chopped banana chips on top of cake before serving
