  • Step 9
    Slice each banana in half lengthwise and than cut into semi circles.
  • Step 10
    Melt the butter in the saute pan and add the brown sugar and blend well. Once it is blended well add the bananas, frangelico or rum (your preference, cinnamon and chopped hazelnuts.

    Cook until carmelized and sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  • Step 12

    Assembling: Place one cake layer on a cake board. Smooth a nice layer of the nutella mousse than a layer of the bananas foster. Repeat with the next layer of cake, mousse and bananas. Add the third layer of cake on top. Cover the cake with the whipped cream. Decorate with chocolate shavings, crushed hazelnuts or drizzled chocolate, whichever you prefer.
