A mixture of brown sugar and flour makes an instant caramel topping for this moist, creamy cake. As for the batter, you'll love the irresistible combination of bananas, chopped pecans, ground cinnamon and nutmeg, vanilla extract, and of course, some vanilla ice cream to top it all off after it's done baking. It's one of the best things to make when you have some very ripe bananas on hand and need an excuse to use them up. The prep work is easy, and you don't even need an electric mixer or any other fancy equipment to make this savory pudding cake.
