Banana cake with caramel icing

Banana cake with caramel icing is a delightful dessert that combines the moist, flavorful essence of bananas with the rich, buttery goodness of caramel. This recipe is perfect for using overripe bananas and will surely be a hit with anyone who has a sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
1 cup sugar
200g
3 eggs
150g
2 bananas
240g
2 cups self-raising flour
300g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
2 tbsp sour cream
30g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g

Instructions:

2. Creaming the Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the 1/4 cup (54g) of butter and 1 cup (200g) of sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Adding Eggs:
- Add the 3 eggs (150g) to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. Incorporating Bananas:
- Add the mashed bananas (240g) to the mixture and blend until well combined.
5. Adding the Flour:
- Gradually add the 2 cups (300g) of self-raising flour to the mixture, folding it in gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Baking:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Adding Powdered Sugar:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually whisk in 1 cup (160g) of powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
9. Icing the Cake:
- Allow the caramel icing to cool slightly, then pour it over the cooled banana cake. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the icing evenly over the cake.
10. Serving:
- Let the icing set completely before slicing.
- Cut into slices and serve. Enjoy your delicious Banana Cake with Caramel Icing!

Tips:

- Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more moist your cake will be.

- When mixing the batter, avoid overmixing once the flour has been added. Overmixing can result in a dense cake.

- For an extra moist cake, add an additional tablespoon of sour cream.

- Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the caramel icing to prevent it from melting and running off the cake.

- To achieve a smooth caramel icing, beat the mixture well to eliminate any lumps.

Enjoy your homemade banana cake with caramel icing, a perfect treat for any occasion. Whether served as a dessert or a sweet snack, this cake is sure to impress with its moist texture and rich, flavorful icing.
