A moist and tender cake cradling sweet, caramelized bananas beneath a glossy layer of buttery brown sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Create the sweet caramel base: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat until bubbly. Pour this mixture into the prepared cake pan.
  3. Arrange the bananas: Slice the bananas and arrange them in a single layer over the brown sugar mixture.
  4. Whisk the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Combine the wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.
  6. Mix it all together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter over the arranged bananas, ensuring they are completely covered.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

Notes

Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or refrigerate for a week.
