Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
2 eggs
100g
2 bananas
240g
2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
30g
1/3 cup powdered sugar
55g

Instructions:

2. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until creamy and well combined. This can be done using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. Add Bananas: Mash the bananas well with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Add the mashed bananas to the batter and mix until thoroughly combined.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the self-raising flour to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Incorporate Sour Cream: Fold in the sour cream gently using a spatula until the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
7. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
8. Bake: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Mix Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the warm cream, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Continue whisking over medium heat until it thickens and reaches a caramel-like consistency. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
3. Cool Slightly: Remove the caramel mixture from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes until it's thick yet spreadable.
2. Set the Frosting: Allow the frosting to set for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
3. Serve and Enjoy: Cut into slices and enjoy your delicious Banana Cake with Caramel Frosting!

Tips:

- Ensure the bananas are ripe; the riper they are, the more flavorful the cake will be.

- For light and fluffy cake, do not overmix the batter once you add the flour.

- Let the cake cool completely before applying the frosting to prevent it from melting.

- For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla extract to your frosting.

- Garnish with banana slices or crushed nuts for added texture and visual appeal.

Serve your banana cake with caramel frosting as a delicious and visually appealing dessert. Its balanced sweetness and moist texture make it a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy every bite of this rich, flavorful cake that's both simple to make and impressive to serve.
