This warm, comforting cake is a twist on the classic English dessert, sticky toffee pudding — which is not really pudding at all, but rather a warm, moist cake made with finely chopped dates covered in a sticky toffee sauce. Though it looks impressive, it’s easy to make: the cake is nothing more than a delicate banana bread baked in a cake pan, and the toffee sauce is simply a combination of butter, cream, brown sugar and corn syrup.
It’s important to use overripe bananas — the browner and spottier, the better. Begin by mashing them in a bowl, then set aside

Next, whisk together the dry flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar.Beat until combined.
Then add the mashed bananas, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla.

Transfer the batter to a greased and floured 8-inch square baking dish.
And bake for 35 minutes, until golden.

Meanwhile, make the toffee sauce by combining the butter, heavy cream, corn syrup and brown sugar in a medium sauce pan.Whisk until the sugar dissolves.

Gently boil the sauce, whisking occasionally, until thickened to a syrup consistency, about 15 minutes. If it seems too thin, don’t worry, it will thicken more as it cools.Spoon about 1/3 cup of the toffee sauce over the baked banana cake.And return to the oven to bake until bubbling, about 6 minutes.
Let the cake cool on a rack, then slice into squares when ready to serve.
Warm the toffee sauce and spoon generously over top. Top with fresh banana slices and chopped pecans, if desired. Enjoy!
