BANANA SNACKING CAKE WITH SALTED CARAMEL GLAZE



Banana Snacking Cake With Salted Caramel Glaze image

This buttery snacking cake is a bit like banana bread, but richer, and topped with a sticky caramel frosting that is dotted with crunchy flakes of sea salt. The frosting, made from brown sugar and heavy cream, is easier than a classic caramel, but just as compelling, with the sea salt contrasting perfectly with its sweetness. It's important to use ripe bananas here. Soft, spotty ones with dark yellow skins will be the sweetest and most complex. Firm, pale yellow bananas just don't have enough intensity to flavor the cake.

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups/185 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 cup/250 grams mashed banana (from 2 to 3 very ripe bananas)
1/4 cup/60 milliliters sour cream
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons/65 grams unsalted butter (1/2 stick), cut into pieces
1/3 packed cup/70 grams dark brown sugar
1/4 cup/60 milliliters heavy cream
Large pinch of fine sea salt
1/4 cup/30 grams confectioners' sugar
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-9-inch pan, and then line with parchment paper, letting the two long ends hang over the edges by at least 2 inches.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking soda and salt. Whisk in bananas, melted butter, sour cream, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla.
  • Scrape into baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed in the center, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • When cake is cool, make the glaze: In a medium or large pot (not a small one because the mixture will bubble up), combine butter, brown sugar, heavy cream and salt. Bring to a full boil and continue to boil over medium heat for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk in confectioners' sugar until smooth, then immediately pour over cooled cake. Spread evenly across cake and let set for at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.

Provided by Catherine Saint Louis

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup finely ground hazelnuts
1 cup gluten-free flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup milk
1 cup crème fraîche
1/8 cup gluten-free flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 325. Make the crust: Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until mixture looks like coarse pea-size crumbs, about 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch or 10-inch springform pan. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes; set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for the filling in the bowl of the food processor and purée until smooth. Pour the mixture into the cooled crust and bake for 1 hour, or until set in the center, up to 15 minutes longer. Let cool and then chill until fully set, preferably overnight.
  • Make the glaze: put the sugar and the water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and allow the sugar to caramelize. When the mixture is a medium-amber color, about 8 minutes, pull the pot off the heat and add the heavy cream. When the bubbles subside, add the butter. Continue stirring until all the butter has been incorporated; add salt to season and let cool.
  • Remove the cake from the refrigerator and release from the pan. Pour the warm glaze over it to serve.

  • Store leftover glaze in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
