Description

A cozy dessert featuring caramelized bananas and a moist, tender cake, perfect for sharing with loved ones.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a round cake pan to prepare for your masterpiece.
  2. Melt the brown sugar and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bananas and cook until caramelized.
  3. Pour the caramelized banana mixture into your prepared cake pan.
  4. Cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract.
  5. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add to the banana mixture, stirring gently.
  6. Pour the batter over the caramelized bananas in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.

Notes

Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to avoid mushiness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
