Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix the melted butter and sugar until blended. Add the eggs, mashed bananas, lemon juice and vanilla extract and mix well.
- On low speed, stir in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Do not over mix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Bring the heavy cream, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt to a boil in a heavy small saucepan over high heat, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook at a gentle boil, whisking occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. It should be the consistency of maple syrup -- it will continue to thicken as it cools. Remove the sauce from the heat and cool.
- Spoon ⅓ cup of the toffee sauce over top of the baked banana cake. Return the cake to the oven and bake until the sauce is bubbling vigorously, about 6 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for at least 30 minutes. Cut the cake into 9 squares or 12 rectangles. Serve the cake slightly warm or at room temperature with warm toffee sauce and top with sliced bananas and pecans, if desired.
- Note: Sauce can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill; then rewarm slightly before using. If it seems too thick, add more heavy cream to thin it to desired consistency.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cake can be frozen (without the toffee sauce) for up to 3 months. Bake the cake for 35 minutes, let it cool completely, double-wrap it securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap. Thaw on the countertop the night before you plan to eat it. Before serving, place the cake back in the oven with the toffee sauce and proceed with the recipe from there.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3, butter a 20cm square cake tin and line the base with baking parchment. Pour in half the syrup, swirling to coat the bottom. Halve the 3 ripe bananas lengthways and lay, cut-side down, in the tin.
- Beat together the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla paste and over-ripe banana with an electric whisk. Fold in the flour, ground almonds and bicarb of soda, then stir in the yogurt. Carefully spoon into the tin without dislodging the bananas. Bake for 45 mins-1 hr until a skewer poked in comes out with only moist crumbs. Poke all over with the skewer, about halfway into the cake, then pour over the remaining maple syrup. Let it soak in for a few mins, then carefully turn out of the tin upside-down, drizzling the banana-studded top with more syrup. Slice and serve warm.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and lightly grease a deep 23cm round cake tin, lining the base with baking parchment.

Pour the batter on top of the bananas and level out with a spatula. Bake in the oven for 55 mins-1 hr or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. If the cake begins to look too dark, cover with foil after 45 mins. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 mins before turning out onto a plate. Best served warm but also delicious at room temperature. Best eaten within 2 days.

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter flavor and a moist texture.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly to ensure they blend well with the other ingredients.
- Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor. You can also use honey or agave nectar as a substitute.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
- Fold in the mashed bananas and chopped walnuts until just combined. Overmixing will result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven for the amount of time specified in the recipe. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when it is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This sticky banana maple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet maple flavor, and crunchy walnuts, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
