Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup of brown sugar and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble gently.
- Pour the caramel mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Slice the bananas and arrange them over the caramel mixture in an even layer. Set the pan aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, sour cream, and Greek yogurt, and mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the cake batter over the bananas in the pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Carefully run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it. Place a serving plate over the pan and invert the cake onto the plate. Tap the bottom of the pan gently, if needed, to release the cake.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup light sour cream and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt until smooth. For added sweetness, you can fold in 1 tablespoon of sugar.
- Whip the mixture until light and fluffy. Chill until ready to serve.
- Slice the cake and serve it warm or at room temperature.
- Top each slice with a generous dollop of the yogurt cream whip.
Tips:
- Ensure your bananas are ripe, with brown spots on the peel, for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Room temperature ingredients mix more evenly, so let your butter, eggs, and sour cream sit out for a bit before starting.
- When layering the banana slices at the bottom of the cake pan, place them in a neat, circular pattern for a beautiful presentation once the cake is flipped.
- Don't overmix the batter; mix just until the ingredients are combined to avoid a dense cake.
- Use a springform pan for easier removal of the cake after baking.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a plate to ensure it holds its shape.
- To make the yoghurt cream whip, simply beat Greek yogurt and light sour cream together until smooth and fluffy, optionally sweetening with a bit of powdered sugar or honey if desired.
