This banana cake I made is the best ever. Even after a day, the cake remains moist. It is ideal for a celebratory dinner or any event.

Steps

1 hour 30 minutes

1

Preheat oven to 160ºC. Grease a round shallow pan.
2

Spread the brown sugar on the bottom of the pan. If using nuts, sprinkle them evenly over the sugar. Scatter the butter pieces. Put in the oven for about 8 minutes.
3

Stir the mixture until dissolved and spread evenly on the bottom of the pan. Place a single layer of the banana slices on top of the sugar mixture along the entire bottom of the pan.
4

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add all the remaining wet ingredients and beat over just until combined. Do not over beat.
5

Pour the batter over the sliced banana in the pan.
6

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean but moist.
7

Allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting in on cake platter. This is to allow the sugar and banana set.
8

Prepare the caramel glaze..
Place the butter, brown sugar and heavy cream in a small saucepan. Cook it until well combined and not over cooked. Simmer for about 2 minutes and let it sit for a minute.
You can also microwave all the ingredients for a minute but I prefer to cook it in a saucepan so I can control the temperature.
9

To serve, pour the glaze evenly over the cake on top.
10

I like to eat it with whipped cream or double cream. You can serve it with vanilla ice cream too if you like.

Enjoy …
