So instead I caramelized some bananas (you can see how to do that here from Emeril). I put the caramelized bananas in between the cake layers and then I made a butterscotch icing to go on top.
Butterscotch Icing
1/4 cup corn syrup
2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup whole milk
2 Tbsp butter
2 cups icing sugar (approx)
Combine everything except the icing sugar into a thick bottom pan. Bring to boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Stop stirring and continue to boil until it comes to the soft ball stage. Take off heat and cool until just warm to the touch. Using a hand mixer, beat until right consistency, adding just enough icing sugar to get to right texture! Spread over your cake and enjoy!

Um, this looks so yummy!!!
you had me at carmalized bananas! Oh it sounds divine!
How was the chocolate cake? Just wondering if it was really good? Yum I don't like butterscotch that much, but I love butterscotch icing on chocolate cake. Haven't had that in forever. I might have to make some! Brings back memories of home growing up. My mom would make chocolate cake and butterscotch icing.
