Caramel Banana Cake

I found this recipe on Pinterest, but unfortunately the original source is in Croatian. Thank God for Google translate! The recipe looked far too yummy to let a little language barrier keep me from making it. Here is the translated version.

Ingredients:
Carmel glaze -
3/4 c brown sugar
1/3 c butter
Cake -
2 1/4 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 c powdered sugar
1/2 c (1 stick) butter
2 eggs
1/3 c milk
2 - 3 bananas
1/3 tsp cinnamon
Dash of salt

Preheat oven to 350

To make caramel glaze, melt butter and brown sugar in medium sauce pan over low heat until the mixture is smooth. Pour into the bottom of a 10 in round baking dish. Cut the bananas into round slices and place into glaze in a circular pattern covering the bottom of the pan.

For the cake, first melt butter and allow to cool. Mix the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Beat the eggs and milk in separate bowl, pour into the dry ingredients and add the cooled butter. Mix until well combined and pour into baking dish over the bananas. Spread evenly and bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

Remove cake from oven and allow to cool 10 minutes. Cover the baking dish with a plate and carefully flip. Allow to cool fully and serve.
