Carefully pour the cake batter over the caramelized bananas in the skillet, spreading it evenly.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over very low heat for about 25 minutes, allowing the cake to cook through without burning the bottom.
Check the cake by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done; if not, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Cool and Serve:
Once the cake is baked, remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Carefully flip the skillet onto a plate to release the cake, allowing the banana topping to show on top.
Serve warm or at room temperature, with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
