Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2/3 cup packed brown sugar
4.5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
About 3 bananas sliced into 1/4-1/3 inch rounds
1/3 cup unsalted butter-softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
2 large eggs
2 overripe bananas-mashed (about 1 cup)
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup whole wheat flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
dash of salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease 8 x 8 x 2 inch square cake pan or 9 x 2 inch round cake pan. The pan must be 8 cups volume (cake will overflow 8 x 8 x 1 1/2 inch square pan, it has only 6 cup volume)
  • Spread 2/3 cup brown sugar on the bottom of the pan and scattered pieces of butter (4.5 Tbsp). Place the pan in the oven for 5-7 minutes (until butter has melted). Remove from the oven and stir butter and sugar and spread evenly on the bottom. Arrange sliced bananas to cover the bottom. Set Aside.
  • To make the batter in a bowl stir together dry ingredients ( flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt), set aside.
  • In a large bowl cream 1/3 cup butter and ¾ cup sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and mix to combine. Add Greek yogurt and mashed bananas and mix to combine.
  • Turn your mixer on low and add dry ingredients mixture. Mix just to combine. Pour the batter over bananas, smooth the top and bake. Bake 30 minutes at 350 F, then reduce the heat to 325 F and bake for additional 25-35 minutes until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out completely clean.
  • Let it cool in the pan completely, or at least until the bottom is barely warm before inverting on the plate. Use a knife to loosen the edges from the pan, place a plate upside-down on top of the pan, then invert cake.

UPSIDE-DOWN BANANA SPLIT CAKE



Upside-Down Banana Split Cake image

This delectable dessert delivers all the fun of a banana split, plus the delicious caramelized flavors of an upside-down cake.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 6h20m

Yield 16 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pint premium vanilla ice cream, softened slightly to a spreadable consistency
1 pint premium chocolate ice cream, softened slightly to a spreadable consistency
1 pint premium strawberry ice cream, softened slightly to a spreadable consistency
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pans
All-purpose flour, for dusting
3/4 cup sugar
3 ripe but firm bananas
3 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups buttermilk
Refrigerated canned whipped cream, for topping
10 to 12 maraschino cherries with stems
2 tablespoons finely chopped roasted peanuts
2 tablespoons colored sprinkles
Hot fudge and caramel sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • For the ice cream layer: Line a 9-inch round cake pan with two layers of plastic wrap, pressing into the sides and corners to smooth it out as much as possible and leaving an overhang so you can lift the ice cream out.
  • Spread the vanilla ice cream in the prepared pan in an even layer using a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon, then freeze until solid, about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. Repeat with the chocolate and strawberry ice creams, spreading the layers on top of each other and freezing each layer until firm. (See Cook's Note.)
  • For the topping: Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the sides of two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and dust the sides lightly with flour. Line the bottoms with parchment paper rounds.
  • Combine the sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons water in a medium skillet and stir until the mixture looks like wet sand. Cook over medium-high heat, gently swirling the pan occasionally but not stirring, until light amber, about 5 minutes. Pour the caramel syrup into the bottom of one of the prepared cake pans.
  • Peel and cut each of the bananas crosswise into 3 equal pieces. Cut each piece in half lengthwise. Arrange two banana pieces cut-side down in the pan with the caramel so they from an upside-down V. Continue making upside-down Vs with the banana pieces all the way across the pan. Fill in any empty spaces with the remaining banana pieces.
  • For the cake: Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the sugar and vegetable oil to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition, then beat in the vanilla until combined. With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the flour and buttermilk in 3 parts each, scraping down the bowl as needed, then beat on medium-high for 1 full minute.
  • Divide the batter between the two prepared pans, covering the bananas evenly (use an offset spatula if needed). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour (the plain cake will bake faster than the one with the topping, so check both). Let cool on a rack until cool enough to handle, about 25 minutes, then turn the cakes out onto racks to cool completely.
  • Place the plain cake layer on a cake pedestal or plate. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and lift it out of the pan using the plastic wrap. Invert the ice cream layer directly on the cake layer. Top with the second cake layer, bananas facing up. Decorate the top with whipped cream rosettes, then top with cherries and sprinkle with chopped peanuts and sprinkles. Serve immediately with hot fudge and caramel sauce.
