Banana Upside-Down Cake
Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3 medium bananas, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 medium overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your cake pan by lightly coating it with a non-stick spray. This will ensure that the cake releases easily once it's cooked.
3
Now, take a small amount of brown sugar and spread it evenly across the bottom of your prepared cake pan. Following this, sprinkle an assortment of butter pieces over the top of the brown sugar.
4
Place your cake pan in the preheated oven and allow it to cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the butter has melted.
5
Once your cake pan is removed from the oven, take a moment to stir and spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan.
6
Now, arrange your sliced bananas in a single layer on the bottom of the cake pan. Set it aside for now.
7
In a separate bowl, combine your dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
8
Take a moment to set these ingredients aside for later use.
9
Using an electric mixer, beat together white sugar and butter in a large bowl until they form a smooth consistency.
10
Mix in your eggs one at a time, followed by the addition of vanilla extract until well combined.
11
Next, add your mashed bananas and sour cream to the mixture, stirring until they are fully incorporated.
12
Gradually add your dry ingredients on low speed and beat the mixture until it is just combined.
13
Pour the batter over your banana slices in the cake pan and smooth out the top.
14
Bake your cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean.
15
Once your cake is done, take it out of the oven and let it cool in the pan for approximately 30 minutes.
16
Finally, invert your cake onto a serving plate and slice it into individual portions.
