Ingredients

Cake Base:

Ripe bananas: 2 large (sliced lengthwise)

Egg: 1 large

Sugar: ½ cup (adjust to taste)

All-purpose flour: 1 cup

Milk: ½ cup

Butter (melted): ¼ cup

Baking powder: 1 teaspoon

Vanilla extract: ½ teaspoon

Caramel Layer:

Sugar: ⅓ cup

Water: 2 tablespoons

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Caramel

In a non-stick pan, add the sugar and water for the caramel layer.

Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts and turns golden brown.

Pour the caramel evenly into the base of your cooking pan and spread it out.

Step 2: Arrange the Bananas

Set aside while preparing the batter.

Step 3: Mix the Batter

In a mixing bowl, beat the egg and sugar together until well combined.

Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

Sift in the flour and baking powder, mixing gently until you get a smooth batter with no lumps.

Step 4: Assemble and Cook

Pour the batter over the bananas in the pan, ensuring it covers them evenly.

Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid or aluminum foil.

Place the pan on the stovetop over low heat and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tip: Use a heat diffuser or double-layer pan to avoid burning the bottom.

Step 5: Flip and Cool

Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.

Carefully flip the cake onto a serving plate so the caramelized bananas are on top.
