Sweets for the sweet (with pics!!)

My friend posted this recipe on Facebook, and it was one of those "must makes"! NOW.
 I made it this morning around 8/9am, & the longer it sat, somehow, it tasted better!

For the brown sugar combo, you don't need to caramelize it. All you need to do is have your burner on low, to dissolve the sugar, then pour over w/o forgetting your coconut.....

Banana Coconut Upside Down Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 BettyCrocker yellow cake mix
  • 3 whole eggs
