I found this recipe on a site called “Closet Cooking”. Seemed like a tasty cake to try and make and so I did!
It was really easy and is SUPER tasty. It is moist, and has some crispy sugary edges that make your taste buds say Yum!
I made a couple modifications to the way the recipe is written and a couple other tweaks. My center fell in a little bit and messed up my neat and tidy rows of banana slices but that did not take away from the deliciousness – Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Glaze/upside down top:
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 cup brown sugar lightly packed
2-3 ripe bananas cut into slices
Cake:
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
3/4 cup brown sugar lightly packed
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream (I used light)
2 overrips bananas (mashed)
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat over to 350 degrees
1. Melt the butter in a pan. Add brown sugar and melt, stirring for approx 2 minutes. Be careful to not let it stick.
2. Pour melted butter/sugar mixture into 8×8 baking dish and spread it out evenly.
3. Cover with slices of bananas.
4. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl and set aside.
5. Cream butter and sugar.
6. Stir the eggs, sour cream and bananas into the butter and sugar. Remember to scrape down the bowl to make sure everything is incorporating.
7. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
8. Stir in the chocolate chips.
9. Pour and spread batter gently into 8×8 baking dish over the banana slice and sugar glaze.
10. Bake for 40-50 minutes until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
(* If center seems a little wobbly but tooth pick comes out clean let bake for 2-3 more minutes.)
