For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a splash of rum or bourbon to the butter-brown sugar mixture. To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Make sure the bananas are ripe but firm, so they don't become mushy during baking. If you don't have banana cake mix, you can use yellow cake mix and add 1/2 teaspoon of banana extract to the batter.

Jun 23, 2025My cakes stuck a little to the pan, even after greasing and flouring. Next time, I'll try using parchment paper at the bottom to ensure easy release.
