Killer Upside-Down Banana Walnut Cake image

You can make this cake in a Bundt pan. If you don't have any maple syrup use pancake syrup instead, but don't use the low sugar syrup, also if you don't have a sweet tooth, reduce the 1 cup of brown sugar to 3/4 cup or even 1/2 cup... I most always make two of these cakes, one just goes too fast!
