This is a delicious unique cake that extremely moist and your guest will absolutely love it.  I didn’t think anything would top a pineapple upside cake but this one does.  For an added touch serve it with a scoop of ice cream.  I hope that you all enjoy it.

Ingredients:

• 2  c  Flour
• 9 1/2  tb  Butter
• 1/2  c  Brown sugar 
• 1 1/2  c  Granulated sugar
• 1  c  Bananas, mashed
•  2    Eggs
• 1  tb  Vanilla extract
• 1/4  c  Dark rum
• 1  t  Baking soda
• 1/2  ts  Salt
• 1  t  Ground cinnamon
• 1/2  ts  Nutmeg
• 1/4  ts  Ground ginger
• 1/2  c  Sour cream
• 2  lg  Bananas, unripe, cut in 1/2
• 1 1/4  c  Walnuts, broken

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. In a 10-inch oven-proof skillet, melt 5 1/2 Tbs of the butter with the brown sugar over very low heat. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, cream the remaining 4 Tbs of butter with the white sugar until light. Add the mashed bananas, eggs, vanilla and rum; stir. Then add the flour, baking soda, salt and spices; beat in sour cream. Arrange the banana slices in a pretty pattern in the skillet with the brown sugar mixture; top with the walnuts. Pout the batter over all and place in the oven for 50 to 60 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Turn out immediately onto a plate.
