Instructions
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
Cream together the butter and sugar until nicely combined.
Mix in the eggs followed by the mashed banana, lemon juice and vanilla essence.
Add the flour and mix until just combined.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish(7-9 inches). Here I am using a 7-inch pan. Bake in a 350°F preheated oven for 40-45 mins (in a 7-inch pan). A 9-inch cake pan will take only 25 - 30 mins and an 8-inch pan approx 35 mins.
In the meantime, Prepare the easy toffee sauce. In med-low heat bring to boil all the ingredients except the vanilla essence. Let it simmer for 5 - 8 mins until thick.(the syrup will thicken more on cooling).
Once the cake is done, pour and spread 1/3 cup of the toffee and bake again for 5-6 mins until the sauce is bubbling. Let the cake cool for at least 30 mins before cutting.
To serve : Serve the cake warm or at room temperature with warm toffee sauce and top it with slice bananas and roasted walnuts/pecans.
