This cake looks really delicious! I love the way the bananas became caramelized with the brown sugar and butter. I'm definitely pinning for later. Thanks for sharing on Mix It Up Monday.

This is so different that I must try it. It has all the ingredients I love so I am sure it is fabulous! Pinned!
Oh…….bananas with brown sugar – what can be better?
One question – since it needs to be served warm, can it be made ahead and then warmed just before serving or would that make the brown sugar run?
Thanks.
