Tips:

For a gooey caramel center, use soft and chewy Mars bars.
To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly.
Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more flavorful cake.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.

This banana and Mars bar cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy banana cake layers, gooey caramel center, and creamy chocolate frosting, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
