Caramel Pecan Banana Cake

“Growing up in rural Oklahoma we had the only banana tree for miles. I took great care of watering and weeding around it that when it didn’t make any bananas the 1st year I was very upset. The next summer, my Uncle Roy, being the family trickster, bought some bananas, put them on the tree and told me they grew overnight. Of course, I believed everything Uncle Roy told me. Mom made a banana Bundt cake with the fruit and I savored every single bite. I came up with this recipe in honor of my dad and uncle, who have since passed. Oh yes, Uncle Roy also had me watering a round rock that grew too!” – Tresa
