How to make Caramel Upside Down Banana Cake
Prepare the Topping
Slice the bananas and set them aside.
In a saucepan, combine sugar, miso paste, and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens.
Pour the caramel mixture into the bottom of a cake pan and arrange the sliced bananas on top.
Make the Cake
In a mixing bowl, mash the banana.
Add eggs, yogurt, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Pour the cake batter over the caramelized bananas in the cake pan.
Bake the Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the cake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for a few minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
Tips & Tricks
For a richer flavor, you can use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
Make sure the bananas are ripe for the best sweetness and flavor.
FAQS
Can I use ripe bananas for this recipe?
Yes, ripe bananas are ideal for this recipe as they are sweeter and will add more flavor to the cake.
What can I substitute for miso paste?
If you don't have miso paste, you can omit it or use a small amount of soy sauce for a similar umami flavor, but it will alter the taste slightly.
How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. It should also spring back when lightly pressed.
Can I make this cake ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the cake ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate it for longer freshness.
What can I serve with the caramel upside down banana cake?
