Instructions:
1. Prepare the Topping:
- In a 20 cm (8-inch) non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
- Add the raw sugar (or regular sugar) and stir until it begins to dissolve and form a light caramel. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Slice the bananas into rounds and arrange them in a single layer over the caramelized sugar. Allow them to cook gently for a few minutes until they start to soften and caramelize slightly.
2. Make the Cake Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and sugar until light and frothy.
- Add the milk, salt, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Sift together the flour and baking powder, then gently fold them into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Stir in the vegetable oil until the batter is smooth.
3. Assemble and Bake:
- Carefully pour the cake batter over the caramelized bananas in the skillet, spreading it evenly.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over very low heat for about 25 minutes. This low heat allows the cake to cook through without burning the bottom.
- After 25 minutes, check the cake by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Cool and Serve:
- Once the cake is baked, remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully flip the skillet onto a plate to release the cake, allowing the banana topping to show on top.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. This cake is delightful on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Cooking Tips:
- Use Ripe Bananas: For the best flavor and texture, use very ripe bananas. They’ll caramelize beautifully and add a rich sweetness to the cake.
- Low Heat Cooking: Cooking the cake over low heat is crucial to ensure it bakes evenly and doesn’t burn. Patience is key for this recipe.
- Non-Stick Skillet: Use a non-stick skillet to make the cake easier to flip and to ensure the bananas don’t stick.
