Brown Sugar Banana Cake

I know I am a little late to the party!!!  But better late than never...Right?  This recipe mixes the perfect flavors and sugars to give it a unique taste.  Here is my "rustic" looking cake but if I have a little extra time I actually frost the entire thing and it looks pretty spectacular.
