Cake Ingredients

Method

Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Topping

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, melt the butter in the oven. Once melted, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter.

  2. 2

    Arrange the Bananas

    Slice the ripe bananas into rounds and arrange them evenly on top of the brown sugar mixture.

  3. 3

    Make the Cake Batter

    In a bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  5. 5

    Combine Batter and Bake

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter over the bananas in the baking dish and spread evenly.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.
