  • Total Time: 60

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.
