Description
A delicious and easy banana butter cake recipe topped with a caramelized brown sugar and banana layer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ tablespoons salted butter (melted)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 medium banana (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons salted butter (softened to room temperature)
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease the baking dish with butter and place it on a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, stir the melted butter and brown sugar together until combined.
- Spread the brown sugar mixture evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Slice the banana into 1/4-inch rounds and arrange them in a single layer over the brown sugar mixture.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar with a hand mixer on low speed until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir until just combined.
- Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter over the bananas and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges, place a plate upside down over the dish, and flip in one motion. Lift the dish off carefully.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the batter for a lighter texture.
- This cake can be served with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
