Ingredients:

3 eggs
150g
1/4 cup butter
54g
3/4 cup brown sugar
170g
1/3 cup maple syrup
72g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
3 bananas
360g
1/3 cup sour cream
72g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 3 eggs until they are light and fluffy.
- Add 1/4 cup of softened butter and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add in 3/4 cup of brown sugar and beat until the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in 1/3 cup of maple syrup and 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
- Add the mashed bananas and 1/3 cup of sour cream, mixing until combined.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1 tsp of cinnamon.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender cake.
4. Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Prepare the Caramel Bananas:
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the caramelized bananas.
- In a medium saucepan, heat 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream over medium heat.
- Add the sliced bananas and cook, stirring frequently, until the bananas are caramelized and the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Assemble and Serve:
- Once the cake has cooled completely, arrange the caramel bananas on top.
- Drizzle any remaining caramel sauce over the top of the cake.
- Slice and serve your Maple Banana Cake with Caramel Bananas.

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas: Make sure to use ripe bananas with brown spots, as they are sweeter and easier to mash, enhancing the flavor of your cake.

- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure that the eggs, butter, and sour cream are at room temperature before mixing. This helps in achieving a smoother batter and better rise.

- Do not overmix: When incorporating the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mix just until combined. Overmixing can result in a dense cake.

- Test for doneness: Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is ready.

- Caramel bananas preparation: For the caramel bananas, sauté banana slices in a mixture of butter and brown sugar until they are caramelized and golden brown. This adds a delicious topping to your cake.

This maple banana cake with caramel bananas is a dessert that brings comfort and indulgence to your table. The moist cake, coupled with the decadent caramelized bananas, makes for a truly unforgettable treat. Enjoy it with a cup of coffee or tea, or serve it as a delightful end to your meal. Happy baking!
