How to Make a banana cake with gooey caramel icing

Ingredients for banana cake including flour, sugar, bananas, eggs, and baking soda.

Bananas + cake and whipped topping = Foodie heaven. We don't know why we've always loved the combination of bananas and cake/ice cream/whipped anything (maybe it stems from having thousands of banana splits as a kid?), but we do know it's delicious!

So put down that used and tired apple pie recipe and try something new for a change! Check out this food video to see how to bake a luscious banana cake topped with a thick and sweet caramel icing.
