Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Add 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and stir until melted and combined, forming a caramel-like mixture.
- Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
- Peel and slice the bananas into thin, uniform rounds.
- Arrange the banana slices over the caramel layer in the cake pan, overlapping them slightly to create a decorative pattern.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the 2 eggs until light and fluffy.
- Add 1/2 cup sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is pale and smooth.
- Gently fold in both the 1/2 cup sour cream and the 1/2 cup light sour cream.
- Gradually add the 2 cups of self-raising flour, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Carefully pour the cake batter over the arranged banana and caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Tap the cake pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate. Make sure to gently remove the parchment paper to reveal the caramelized banana top.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you begin for better mixing and texture.
- Use ripe bananas for a more intense banana flavor and natural sweetness.
- For a richer caramel flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of dark brown sugar to the caramel mixture.
- Be careful when turning the cake out of the pan; allow it to cool slightly but not completely, so the caramel doesn't stick to the pan.
- If you prefer a less rich cake, you can use all light sour cream or replace it entirely with Greek yogurt.
There you have it—a delicious Upside-Down Caramel Banana Cake that's perfectly sweet and satisfyingly moist. By following these steps, you can create a delectable dessert that's perfect for any gathering or simply to indulge your sweet tooth. Enjoy your baking!
