Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup butter, softened and divided
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch cake pan; the pan should feel slick to the touch.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined; the mixture should be clump-free.
- In another bowl, beat one cup of softened butter with three-quarter cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy; it should appear pale yellow and airy.
- Add each egg one at a time while mixing continuously, then stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor depth.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture while alternating with half a cup of milk; stop mixing as soon as you achieve a smooth batter.
- In a small saucepan, melt the remaining butter with brown sugar over medium heat until bubbly and caramelized; this should take about five minutes.
- Pour the caramel mixture into your prepared pan and arrange banana slices evenly on top before pouring in the batter; smooth out any bumps.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown; test doneness with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it's ready.
- Let the cake rest in the pan for about ten minutes before flipping onto your serving plate to reveal the beautiful banana topping.
