Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup light brown sugar , packed
1/4 cup butter ( no subs)
3 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (toasted preferably )
4 large ripe bananas, peeled and cut diagonally into 1/4-inch thick slices
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2-1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup half-and-half cream or 1/2 cup full-fat milk

Directions:

Set oven to 325 degrees.

Pour into cake pan, and spread to coat the bottom of the pan.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the butter/sugar mixture, then sprinkle with chopped nuts.
Place the long banana slices in concentric circles on top of the nuts, overlapping slightly but covering the bottom.
For the cake: stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
Beat in sugar and butter in another bowl until creamy (about 3-4 minutes).
Add in egg and vanilla; beat until smooth, light and fluffy.
Beat in flour mixture alternately with milk.
Spoon the batter over the bananas in the pan.
Bake for about 50-55 minutes, or until cakes tests done.
Transfer cake to a rack and run a knife around the sides of the pan.
Cool cake for 30 minutes.
Place a plate over pan and invert onto plate.
Let stand 3 minutes upside-down with plate on top, then gently lift off pan.
