This is a tender, moist cake with a caramel topping, use caramel chips, or minced up toffee bars, such a Heath bars. If you reside in Canada and cannot find Heath bars, then one whole Crispy Crunch bar will do. If you want more topping double all topping ingredients. Ingredients:
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/4-1/3 cup crushed chocolate-covered english toffee bar |
1/3 cup flour |
3 small very ripe mashed bananas |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 cup butter, salted |
3 extra large eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup sour cream |

Stir in the caramel bits, Heath bars or Crispy Crunch bars; set aside. 7. In a small bowl, mash (do not mix with a mixer) the bananas; set aside. 8.
