Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round cake pan with butter.
Evenly sprinkle the bottom of the prepared cake pan with the 1/2 cup of brown sugar.
Peel the bananas and slice them into even rounds or lengthwise strips. Arrange the banana slices over the brown sugar in the cake pan, ensuring they cover the bottom completely.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the 2/3 cup of butter and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Fold in the 1 cup of chopped or ground hazelnuts and the 1/3 cup of white rice flour to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined to form a batter.
Gently pour the batter over the banana layer in the cake pan. Spread the batter evenly with a spatula, making sure it covers the bananas completely.
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Place a serving plate over the pan and carefully invert the cake onto the plate. Remove the pan to reveal the banana and caramel topping.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Upside-Down Banana and Hazelnut Cake as a delightful dessert or a sweet treat with tea or coffee.
Tips:
- Ensure your bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Toast the hazelnuts lightly before using them to enhance their nutty flavor.
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.
- To avoid a dense cake, do not overmix the batter once you add in the rice flour.
- Grease your cake pan well to ensure easy removal of the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before flipping it onto a serving plate to let the caramelized banana topping set properly.
