WACKY BANANA CAKE



Wacky Banana Cake image

What makes this cake so "wacky"? You mix it right in the pan, no need to get a bowl dirty. Also, there are no eggs in this cake. Wacky right!? I found this recipe in my Better Homes and Gardens baking cook book. I've baking this for 10 years. It's always a hit. The original recipe is baked in a 8x8 pan. I doubled it and us a 9x13. I also use more cinnamon than the original recipe. My brother in law really isn't a cake fan, now that's wacky! He loves this cake. It's so moist and the toffee chips give it a nice twist. Whenever my bananas get too ripe I pop them in the freezer. Then when I need them I defrost them and drain any excess water. This way I always have ripe bananas on hand. Enjoy!

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.

LOW FAT BANANA WACKY CAKE



Low Fat Banana Wacky Cake image

Had an old banana laying around, looked up a wacky cake recipe and edited it to the types of food I usually eat. (aka: low fat/healthier) It is pretty gooey, but I may not have cooked it long enough, also a little chewy because of the oatmeal.
