Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 8 tbsp butter (for batter)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup mashed bananas (approx. 2 bananas)
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 8 tbsp butter (for toffee sauce)
- ¾ cup brown sugar (for toffee sauce)
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for toffee sauce)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a deep baking dish to ensure easy release after baking.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter until light and fluffy, creating a pale yellow mixture.
- Add eggs one at a time while mixing, followed by vanilla extract, buttermilk, maple syrup, and mashed bananas until smooth and creamy.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; then gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top before baking for 45–55 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before poking holes throughout its surface with a skewer or fork for better sauce absorption.
- For the toffee sauce, melt butter and brown sugar over medium-low heat until smooth; stir in heavy cream and vanilla extract until thickened.
- Pour the warm toffee sauce over the cooled cake so it seeps into the holes; let it soak for at least one hour before serving.
