Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 150 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 120 milliliters milk
• 200 milliliters caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 250 milliliters heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 bananas banana slices (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In another medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 7

Fold the mashed bananas into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once the cakes are cool, spread a generous layer of caramel sauce over the top of one of the cakes and place the second cake on top.

Step 12

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.

Step 13

Spread the whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake, then drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top.

Step 14

Garnish the cake with banana slices and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

Step 15

Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving for best results. Enjoy!
