Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dark rum
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans, toasted
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
5 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup mashed banana, very ripe
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons dark rum
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • TO MAKE THE GLAZE.
  • Combine the butter, water, and sugars in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the rum. Set aside and keep warm.
  • TO MAKE THE CAKE.
  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F Spray a 10-cup tube pan with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle the pecans in the bottom of the pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  • One by one, beat in the eggs, taking care to mix well between each addition.
  • Beat in the mashed bananas, vanilla, and rum.
  • Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt over the batter and fold in using a rubber spatula, just until no streaks of flour remain.
  • Fold in the sour cream.
  • Spoon the batter into the pan and spread to the pan using the back of a rubber spatula.
  • Bake about 60-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Use a wooden skewer to poke holes all over the cake and pour 1/4 cup glaze over the cake.
  • Allow to cool for 5 more minutes. Place a serving platter over the pan and invert to release the cake. Spoon the remaining glaze over the cake, little by little, and let stand until the glaze is completely absorbed by the cake. If the glaze starts to pool at the base of the cake, use a small metal spatual to spread it up and around the sides of the cake. As the glaze cools, it will form a rummy, sugary shell.
  • Allow to cool completely before serving.

BANANA UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Banana Upside-Down Cake image

Like a cross between bananas Foster and pineapple upside-down cake, this homey dessert is topped with caramelized banana slices and crunchy walnuts. Cooking the brown sugar in a skillet before adding the fruit gives you a particularly deep, complex flavor. Because of the moisture in the topping, you'll need to bake this cake a little longer than other, similar butter cakes. Underbaked cake will be soggy and apt to fall apart, but an ideal result will have a well-browned surface and dark, slightly crunchy edges.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 1 (10-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons/56 grams unsalted butter
1/3 cup/71 grams light brown sugar
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 pound bananas (about 3 large bananas), sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick planks
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing the pan
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup/118 milliliters sour cream or plain whole-milk yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups/195 grams all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the topping: In an oven-safe 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, lemon juice and salt, and whisk until the brown sugar melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Let cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to smell like caramel and darkens slightly, about 1 minute longer. (Don't walk away, or the mixture may burn.) The mixture will clump and separate, but that's OK.
  • Add bananas and nuts, gently tossing to coat with the caramel. Remove from heat and arrange fruit into an even layer on bottom of skillet. Ignore any sugar clumps; they will dissolve during baking.
  • Make the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest until thoroughly combined. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add sour cream and whisk until well mixed. Sprinkle in baking powder, salt and baking soda into the batter, one at a time, and whisking vigorously after each addition.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in flour until just incorporated. The mixture will be lumpy, but that's OK. Don't overmix. Scrape batter into the skillet over the fruit and spread evenly.
  • Bake until surface is deeply browned all over (with darker brown edges) and the fruit is lightly bubbling around the sides of the skillet, about 35 to 45 minutes, rotating halfway through. A toothpick inserted into cake will come out clean.
  • Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately run a butter knife or offset spatula around the edge of the skillet. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to cool slightly. Carefully invert cake into serving platter. If some fruit or nuts stick to bottom of skillet, gently remove them using an offset spatula or knife and place them back onto cake. Let the cake cool until the fruit topping sets, at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, before serving. Cake is best served on the day it is baked.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Use a bundt pan. A bundt pan will give your cake a beautiful shape and allow for even baking.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

Banana rum cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and boozy rum glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
