Pumpkin Pecan Banana Cake
Pumpkin Pecan Banana Cake
I struggle with calling bread cake.
I know quick breads can be sweet, but I guess I’m just more of a cake girl,
and saying I can have cake for breakfast is….well…..
FUN!
I couldn’t resist drizzling caramel all over the tops of this one,
really trust me it was worth the sticky fingers!
If you don’t like sticky fingers, don’t worry it’s super delicious all on it’s own.

Drizzle with Ghirardelli Caramel Sauce and serve.
This will sure be on the breakfast table again, after all, it does have bananas in it…so that clearly makes it breakfast food….right?
I couldn’t wait to scoop up a piece with a spoon to get all the caramel too.
Yes, this is the cake you can eat with a spoon if you like….or your weird like me and can’t resist caramel.
Diane, I’d never have thought of combining pumpkin with banana. Your cake looks amazing, so moist ‘n fluffy, and that caramel sauce is out of control (in the best way possible, of course). These are beautiful photos.
Love that dripping shot! So fun.
Wow. What a nice change of pace from banana bread! Great idea.
Mouthwatering 🙂 I love this recipe!! Pumpkin & banana sounds perfect!
I’m a huge pumpkin fan and this banana cake sounds so delicious.
