For an even richer flavor, consider using browned butter in the frosting. To toast the pecans, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Ensure the bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and moisture. If you don't have dark rum, you can substitute with light rum or bourbon. For a nuttier cake, reserve some chopped pecans to sprinkle on top of the frosted cake.

Feb 14, 2024My cake turned out a little dry. I think I overbaked it slightly. I'll reduce the baking time next time.
