Provided by Corina Blum

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

120 g brown sugar
60 g butter
1.5 tbsp golden syrup
3 bananas (sliced)
2 ripe bananas
2 tbsp yoghurt
90 g butter (at room temperature)
180 g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
180 g self-raising flour
0.5 tsp cinnamon
0.25 tsp nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • Line a 20 x 20cm baking tin with baking parchment. If you're using a loose-bottomed tin then fold the parchment at the corners so it goes up the sides of the tin too. Otherwise the caramel will leak out into the oven.
  • Put the sugar, butter and golden syrup for the topping in a small saucepan. Cook until all the sugar and butter have melted. Stir gently and pour into the tin. If necessary tilt the tin backwards and forwards so the layer of caramel covers the bottom of the tin.
  • Slice the bananas into pieces about 2cm thick. Place them in the caramel.
  • Start to make the cake. Mash the bananas with a fork then mix into the yogurt. Set aside.
  • Put the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Whisk till pale and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, whisking after each one.
  • Sift the flour and spices and gradually fold into the mixing bowl. Then fold in the banana and yoghurt mixture too.
  • Spoon the batter into the cake tin on top of the caramel and bananas.
  • Bake at 180C for about 45 minutes. Test with a skewer to see if it's cooked. If necessary bake for a little longer.
  • When ready, let the cake stand for a couple of minutes out of the oven. Place a plate on top of the tin and turn it over to remove the cake.
  • Serve warm with cream, custard or ice cream.

CARAMEL BANANA UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Caramel Banana Upside-Down Cake image

Moist sour cream cake topped with bananas and a thick caramel sauce. The cake is made upside-down, then flipped over after baking.

Provided by Shiran

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup (1/2 stick or 50 g) butter
1/2 cup (100 g/3.5 oz) light or dark brown sugar
2 bananas (, peeled)
1 1/2 cups (200 g/7 oz) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick or 115 g) butter, softened
1 cup (200 grams/7 oz) granulated sugar
2 large eggs (, room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Butter a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  • Make the banana topping: Melt butter in a small deep heavy saucepan over medium heat. Once it starts to bubble, add sugar and let simmer for 3 minutes until thick and smooth. Pour into prepared pan.
  • Cut bananas in half lengthwise and, depending on the size of the bananas and pan, cut each half into 2 or 3 pieces widthwise. Place bananas over caramel, cut side down.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Occasionally scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. On medium speed, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating it with the sour cream in 2 additions, starting and ending with the flour. Do not over mix.
  • Pour batter carefully into pan over bananas and smooth the top. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool for exactly 5 minutes on a wire rack, then invert it onto a plate and let cool completely.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Store cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Bananas and caramel are a combination made in heaven. This cake tastes incredible with its combination of bananas and caramel drenched cake. Further, it looks spectacular, like one of those cakes you see in a high class coffee-shop - but it's actually really easy to make. This recipe is originally from Australia's 'Delicious' magazine. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Provided by Kookaburra

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 banana, very ripe, mashed
2 tablespoons sour cream
180 g self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
90 g butter, at room temperature
180 g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, at room temperature
60 g butter
120 g brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons golden syrup
4 large bananas, just ripe

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C (170C fan-forced).
  • Generously grease a 22-24cm (9 - 9 1/2") round cake tin, approx 4.5cm (1 1/2") deep, with butter - a non-stick tin is best.
  • For the caramel topping, melt 60g butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat.
  • Add brown sugar and golden syrup.
  • Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour caramel sauce into the prepared cake tin, tilting it to ensure it covers the base evenly.
  • Now, sift the flour and spices together in a bowl, add a pinch of salt ONLY if you are using unsalted butter.
  • In a small bowl, mash the very ripe banana well then mix in the sour cream.
  • Now, place the 90g butter and the caster sugar into a medium to large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla extract and then the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Reducing the speed of your mixer to low, add the flour to the butter mixture and beat until just combined.
  • Add the mashed banana and sour cream mixture and beat briefly to combine.
  • Now, peel the just-ripe bananas and slice them on the diagonal.
  • Starting at the outside edge of the cake tin, arrange the banana slices, overlapping each other, in a circle on top of the sauce.
  • Now, arrange another circle of banana slices inside the first and so on until you reach the middle of the tin.
  • Reserve four smaller slices for the centre and arrange them, overlapping, as best you can.
  • Now, carefully spoon the cake batter as evenly as possible into the tin, being sure not to disturb the bananas.
  • Take a bread knife and gently smooth the batter until it is spread evenly.
  • Place the cake onto the centre shelf of a preheated 180C (170C fan-forced) oven and bake for 45-50 minutes (approximately 40 minutes in a fan-forced oven).
  • The cake is cooked when it looks golden brown and the springs back when you touch it - if unsure, insert a skewer into the cake and, if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it sit for 3 minutes before running a knife around the rim to loosen the sides.
  • Now, place a large plate upside down over the top of the cake tin and, being careful not to burn yourself, quickly invert the plate and the tin.
  • Leave the cake tin to stand on top of the plate for 20 seconds before removing it.
  • If any bananas stick to the top of the tin, simply remove them and press back into the cake.
  • Serve warm, drizzled with extra golden syrup and serve with thick cream or ice-cream.
  • If you have to make the cake in advance, it can be reheated for a couple of minutes in the microwave.
  • If you wish to be really decadent and serve this cake as a dessert, consider making up a batch of the Caramel Sauce that goes with my Little Icky Sticky Puddings, recipe #88565, to serve with it.

SLOW COOKER BANANA UPSIDE DOWN CAKE



Slow Cooker Banana Upside Down Cake image

I have just discovered the wonder of the slow cooker, and found this recipe online. You can make dessert in a slow cooker, too? Indeed you can, and this is an excellent one to try. My husband raved about it and finished it off in less than 24 hours. He loved the caramelized edges, while I particularly enjoyed the delicious cake. I did not find it too spicy, but actually a good compliment to the sweetness of the bananas.

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, in small pieces, plus more for the cooker
3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar, plus for lining the cooker
3 tablespoons dark rum
2 lbs ripe medium bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise (about 6)
3/4 cup cake flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 1/4 teaspoons fine salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (1/2 stick)
2/3 cup sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
2 tablespoons whole milk, at room temperature
ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Bananas: Butter the inside of a slow cooker, line completely with foil, and then butter the foil. Turn on to HIGH. Sprinkle butter, brown sugar and rum over the foil on the bottom of the slow cooker. Cover the bottom with the banana halves, cut side down, in a slightly overlapping pattern. Press the bananas into the sugar
  • Cake: Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into a large bowl; then whisk to combine evenly.
  • In another bowl, slowly beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until just blended. Raise the speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally, about 10 minutes. Beat in the egg and then the yolk, allowing each to be fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • While mixing slowly, add the flour mixture to the butter in 3 parts, alternating with the milk in 2 parts, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix briefly at medium speed to make a smooth batter.
  • Pour the batter over the bananas and smooth with a spatula to even it out. Lay a doubled length of paper towel from end to end over the top of the slow cooker, to line the lid and create a tighter seal. (See note.) Cover the cake tightly with the lid and continue to cook on HIGH, until the cake begins to brown slightly on the sides and springs back when touched in the middle, about 3 1/2 hours. Turn off the slow cooker and let the cake set, about 20 minutes more.
  • Using the foil, lift the cake from the slow cooker; set on the counter to cool, about 30 minutes more. Fold back the foil, and carefully invert cake onto a platter so you can see the caramelized bananas.
  • Slice or spoon cake into bowls and serve with ice cream, if desired.

Tips:

  • For a richer, more flavorful cake, use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
  • If you don't have a crock pot, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking dish at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • To make the caramel sauce, you can use either light or dark brown sugar. Dark brown sugar will give the sauce a richer, more molasses-like flavor.
  • If you don't have any bananas, you can substitute another fruit, such as apples, pears, or peaches.
  • Serve the cake warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

This caramel banana upside-down crock pot cake is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a sweet and gooey caramel sauce and a topping of bananas. It's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
