Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 to 4 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan generously.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves and a caramel forms.
- Pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan. Arrange the sliced bananas over the caramel in a single layer.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the bananas and caramel, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
