For Caramelized Bananas:
2 large ripe bananas cut into quarter" slices. Rounds. Spray cookie sheet. White sugar for dusting plus another 1/3 cup of sugar to make sauce. 1 small box of raisins (1/2 cup). On a greased cookie sheet place banana slices. Dust lightly with sugar. Place under broiler, broil until they form a crust on top of each slice. They will brown like a toasted marshmallow. Keep on eye on them. Only takes a minute. Remove from oven, carefully use a spatula to remove banana slices, should be able to do this 3 or 4 slices at a time, transfer them to top of cake. Place them on randomly. Take rest of sugar, put it in a sauce pan with 2-3 T. of water. Heat this mixture on medium. Stir to dissolve sugar. All you want to do is dissolve sugar, get it hot. Then add raisins. Take it off heat, stir. While mixture is still warm drizzle it over bananas. Some of it will run across top of cake, maybe even down sides. Cut slices of cake, serve.
