"Easy and yummy. Bananas, brown sugar and pecans are baked under a banana cake mix. The pans are then inverted so the bananas end up on top!"

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 (8 inch) pans. Combine butter and brown sugar, divide and spread evenly between the 2 pans. Sprinkle pecans evenly over both brown sugar mixtures, arrange banana slices evenly over each.
Prepare cake mix according to package instructions. Divide batter into the 2 pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Turn cakes upside down on a platter or plate, gently tap bottom and carefully remove pans, replacing caramel mixture that sticks to pan.

This cake was so moist and so easy! I did use walnuts instead of pecans but the flavor was very rich. This would fall under my catagory of comfort food. My family is not really into cakes but this one will be added to my file.

Dana's "easy and yummy" description is right on the mark. I baked my cake in a 9x13" pan and it turned out great. My husband ate three pieces of this the night I served it to his parents. I took the leftovers to the office the next day and received many compliments and two recipe requests.

This is a super moist recipe that is sinful delicious and so easy. It was wonderful and everyone at work thought so too. They are great sports at trying my new recipes. I could not find a banana cake mix at my local grocer so I bought a white cake mix and added 2 tsp of banana extract. Yummy!

This recipe is awesome! My family rated it a 10 out of 5 stars, hehe. Quick to prepare, nice presentation, and a great alternative to those that find pineapple to be too caustic for their tastes. The only change I made was that I couldn't find banana cake mix, so I used a buttery yellow cake mix and added 1 tsp. of artificial banana flavoring. Next time I will increase the amount of brown sugar and nuts on the bottom, just because we really liked that part the best, but really this recipe is great as-is!

This was so so so good. And I don't even like bananas! I used a skillet - be careful when flipping it! :) I had to re-mold it, but you couldn't tell. Also, I used Trader Joe's Vanilla cake mix - divine! Thanks for an AWESOME recipe!

Is very tasty!!! I subbed French vanilla cake mix, added a box of banana cream pudding, used 4 eggs, milk, oil. It's a killer cake but the pecan/brown sugar mixture does seem to leave alot in the pan behind. I really coated the pan too. My bananas were sliced like medallions and couldn't seem them under all the pecan/sugar mixture, but I did notice they had a green tint to them. Next time may decrease the brown sugar slightly and maybe a little more butter. I'll also make sure the brown sugar is slightly cooked to help dissolve the granules so will soak in a little more. Ate a piece fresh from the oven. Thanks for sharing and this is a keeper.

This was such a yummy cake!!! Was pretty easy to make, too. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the syrup made half of the bananas stick to the pan, so it wasn't pretty. That didn't stop up from digging in though - and it was sooo yummy!!! Oh man...the smell while it was cooking - I couldn't WAIT to be done with dinner so I could move on to dessert!

Simple to make and it tasted wonderful!!!. We cut it right out of the over, it was still steaming. We added vanilla ice cream or whip topping. This will become a tradition in our house.
