2. Put the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and cream it together. sift in the flour.
3. Add the eggs to the bowl and mix it all together. Mix in the finely chopped bananas, then stir in the carnation caramel to give the mix a marble looking effect.
5. Divide the mixture between the bun cases. Put the tray in the oven and leave for around 20 minutes or until golden.
6. Let the cakes cool on a cooling rack. Spoon a tea spoon of caramel on top of a cake and spread it around , add a layer of sliced banana, top with piped butter icing and sprinkle with grated chocolate.

Variance's:

- why not add a handful of small chucks of fudge to the cake mix. 

- use whipped cream to top instead of butter icing and drizzle with toffee sauce.
