Preparation Steps

Make the Orange Scented Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and orange zest. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.

Prepare the Bruleed Bananas
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced bananas and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook until the bananas are caramelized and golden, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Carefully add the dark rum and ignite with a long lighter to flambé. Allow the flames to subside and the alcohol to cook off.

Assemble the Dish
Slice the cooled orange scented cake into squares. Place a square on each plate, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and generously spoon over the bruleed bananas. Sprinkle with spiced pecans before serving.
