This Banana Caramel Cake will have you begging for seconds. The cake is moist and the Caramel topping is just to die for delicious !

I baked this cake (well, not the one on the photos!) on Saturday. Then dropped it on the floor – once again, and this time I have no excuse – did not trip over Nahla, my wrist simply twisted and kaboom .. cake on the floor.

I did not have enough bananas and eggs leftover to make another one, and I really wanted this cake, especially after smelling the wonderful baking smell of the dropped cake.

Early Sunday morning, I got some more bananas and baked this Banana Caramel Cake, which I can now share not only the recipe, but also the photos with you.

And divine it definitely was ! The cake is a little denser than the usual Banana Cakes I bake, but I did add a little more mashed bananas to this cake.
