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:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix all ingredients except the brown sugar and 4 tbsp cocoa and hot water. Spread into a 9x9 pan or equivalent.
- Mix brown sugar and cocoa and spread over batter.
- Carefully pour the hot water over all.
- Bake at 350°F for approximately 40 minutes.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Fold the flour and baking powder into the batter gently until just combined. Overmixing will result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly and doesn't sink in the middle.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This warm banana cake with chocolate sauce is the perfect comfort food dessert. It's moist, flavorful, and easy to make. The chocolate sauce adds a rich and decadent touch that takes this cake to the next level. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just because, this cake is sure to be a hit.
