Description
A delightful treat that combines the rich flavors of caramelized bananas with a moist, fluffy cake, perfect for special occasions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Prepare the topping by melting the butter in a round cake pan over low heat, then add brown sugar and stir until combined. Arrange banana slices over the mixture.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl: whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream the granulated sugar and remaining butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk, and mix until just combined. Pour the batter over the bananas in the pan and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
- For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze tightly wrapped.
- Reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
