I have an epic collection of recipes that I have either downloaded from online, or torn out of magazines and newspapers. It is rather telling that the vast majority of them are sweet recipes.
A source of some great recipes is David Lebovitz's newsletter. Recently, he featured a recipe for Banana Upside Down Cake that just spoke to me (at least, the gorgeous gooey bronze caramel spoke to me), so I downloaded it. You can find it here.
Happily for me, this cake actually got made (helped along by three large aged bananas in my fruit bowl). In addition to the aforesaid gooey caramel top on this cake, there are the sliced bananas that get coated in the caramel, and a lovely, light spongy cake underneath. I am with David on the fact that this is best eaten warm, and that you don't need any accompaniments to enjoy it.
This is one heavenly cake. If you like bananas, or even if you don't, I highly recommend giving this cake a go. I loved it.
Oh, goodness, this Banana Upside Down Cake looks delicious. I love bananas and with cake, well, that pretty much would be my undoing. It looks wonderful. I would love to see that stack of recipes you have waiting in the wings! :-)
ReplyDeleteI need this in my life!
ReplyDeleteMmmm,mmm! Bill would love this! It looks/sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks far more decadent than a standard banana cake - good to keep in mind next time I have bananas that need using up but I want something more exciting than banana bread!
ReplyDeleteI am always impressed at how many of the newspaper/magazine recipes you make - and this one looks really lovely - banana and caramel are so great together and it looks quite unusual to have whole bananas on the top
ReplyDeleteThanks again, this looks like a luscious dessert cake for Sunday tea thank you!!
