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.
Pro Tips for the Best Cake
