Banana cake
This spring, I made a caramelized, inverted banana cake, the dough part of which resembles a classic banana bread, and which is covered with whole bananas and lots of sugar caramel.
Preparation time: 1 hour
Level: Easy
Quantity: One 24 cm cake
Ingredients:
Cake:
130 g room temperature butter
170 g sugar
1.5 tsp vanilla sugar
300 g ripe bananas, mashed
190 g flour
2 eggs
1.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Juice of half a lemon (optional)
Topping:
3 large bananas, cut in half lengthwise
70 g butter
150 g brown sugar
Preparation:
- Make the caramel. To do this, melt the butter and add the brown sugar. Let it caramelize over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Mix the cake batter. Mix butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, eggs, vanilla sugar, and bananas into a smooth batter.
- Line the bottom and sides of a cake tin with baking paper to a height of about 1 cm. Cut the bananas in half lengthwise and place them in the bottom of the cake tin, cut side down.
- Pour the sugar caramel over the bananas. Cover the caramel and bananas with the cake batter.
- Bake at 180 degrees C for 30-40 minutes. If the cake is cooked and a skewer comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Let the cake stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes so that the caramel can set slightly.
- Remove the edge of the cake tin, place a plate on top of the cake, and turn the cake over. Remove the base of the tin and the baking paper.
- If desired, squeeze the juice of half a lemon onto the cake.
Serve immediately or when the cake has cooled. The flavors of the cake need to meld a bit, and it will be even better the next day.
Ready!!
