Perfect for special occasions or a treat-yourself moment, this cake is sure to impress. Let's dive into how to make this delicious cake using the following ingredients.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a round cake tin (about 9-inch diameter) with butter, and set it aside.
- Slice the bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds and arrange them evenly at the bottom of the greased cake tin.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter on medium heat.
- Add the brown sugar and stir continuously until the mixture turns into a smooth caramel sauce (about 3-5 minutes).
- Pour the caramel sauce over the sliced bananas in the cake tin and spread it evenly.
- Set the tin aside to allow the caramel to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg.
- Add the sour cream, olive oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently after each addition.
- Pour in the heavy whipping cream and mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the prepared batter over the bananas and caramel in the cake tin, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Tap the cake tin lightly on the countertop to remove any air bubbles and ensure an even layer.
- Place the cake tin in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- If the top of the cake starts to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for about 15 minutes.
- After cooling, run a knife along the edges of the cake to loosen it from the tin.
- Place a serving plate over the cake tin and carefully invert the tin to release the cake onto the plate.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing.

Upside-down caramilk banana cake FAQ:
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-55 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months, ensuring it’s well-wrapped.
While brown sugar is recommended for its caramel flavor, you can substitute with granulated sugar if necessary. The resulting flavor and texture may differ slightly.
Use a 9-inch round cake tin for this recipe. Ensure it is greased well to help the cake invert easily after baking.
A dense or sunken cake may result from overmixing the batter or underbaking. Ensure you mix until just combined and check doneness with the toothpick test.
Cooking Tips:
- Ensure the bananas are ripe but not overly mushy to maintain their structure during baking.
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of salt to the caramel sauce.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth and even texture in the cake batter.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before inverting it to ensure the caramel layer sets properly.
- Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent experience.
