This is an amazing dessert that looks so fancy and tastes incredible. This recipe is based of my grandma's banana cake I used to eat. The dark rum makes this fun twist to bananas foster to die for.

When served these are VERY impressive! The cake alone is amazing. Add the sauce with the wonderful combination of flavors from rum and the vanilla... wow. The candied pralines top this perfectly. I'd recommend using a 2" sheet pan if you have it. If not, put some aluminum foil under the pan to protect the oven (I did have some minor spillage). I can't wait to make these again!
