Steps
Pre-heat the oven to 180c / 350f.
Grease and flour a 12 cup tube or bundt pan , shaking out all the excess flour.
Sift together the flour , cinnamon , nutmeg , cloves , salt and baking soda.
Set aside.
Beat together the eggs , caster sugar and oil with your electric beaters on medium speed until the sugar is totally emulsified , about 2 to 3 minutes.
Beat in the vanilla essence.
Slowly beat in the dry ingredients , scraping down the bowl to make sure it all gets mixed in well.
Fold in the pecan nuts , chocolate and banana chunks very carefully with a rubber spatula taking care not to mush the bananas up.
Scrape into the prepared pan.
Bake for 50 minutes.
Test with a wooden skewer to see if it is done.
It should come out clean if it is.
If not , bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
In the meantime combine all the topping ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat and cook until the butter and sugar are melted and it begins to boil.
Simmer for about 10 minutes while.
