Sticky Spiced Banana Cake

This get requested by my daughter's friends all the time. I made it a while back and they just loved it, I wasn't 100% happy with it with didn't put the recipe up. I have been promising to re make it and perfect the recipe or them. So here it is.

It's almost pudding like and as delicious as is it on its own, it's equally as delicious with a big dollop of yogurt, fresh banana slices, nuts and a drizzle of maple.
