Caramelized Upside-Down Banana Cake – Moist, Buttery & Irresistible! (Page 2 ) | April 17, 2025

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Caramelize the Banana Topping
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Melt 3 tbsp butter in a 9-inch round pan (oven-safe skillet works too).

Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon evenly over butter.

Arrange banana slices in a single layer. Set aside.

2. Make the Cake Batter
Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.

In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.

Mix in mashed bananas, then alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk.

3. Bake & Flip!
Pour batter over bananas in the pan. Bake 40-45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Wait 1 minute before lifting the pan.

4. Serve Warm!
Top with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or extra caramel drizzle.
