Banana Cake Topped with Caramelized sliced Banana


Ingredients:
3 very ripe bananas
2 cups self-rising flour
a pinch of salt
6 Tbsps melted butter
4 Tbsps maple syrup
4 Tbsps sour cream
3 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar

For topping:

1/2 stick butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
a pinch of salt
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup walnuts
1 sliced banana
1 to 2 Tbsp golden rum

Method:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line a 8 in round baking pan.

Beat eggs with sugar until well combined for about 5 minutes. Then add the melted butter and beat for another 5 minutes. Then add the syrup, sour cream and mashed bananas and beat for another 2 or 3 minutes. Then fold in the flour and pour mixture into prepared baking pan. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until cooked.
While the cake is cooking, prepare the caramelized sticky topping.

Add the butter, sugar and cook on low heat until sugar has melted. Takes about 6 to 8 minutes. Then add the walnuts. After 3 minutes add the rum and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the sliced bananas and cook until well coated in the caramel. Then add the cream and stir well to combine.

Remove cake from oven. Poke holes using a skewer and pour the topping on top of the cake. Let it cool before cutting.
