Banana Upside Down Cake with Step by Step Pictures.
I love baking with bananas. So far I have shared tons of recipes using bananas. You can imagine the cake and I have it right here for you. This is my latest addition to my recipe collection. It is a delicious banana upside down cake and it is everything you want in a banana cake.
- Upside down cakes are a classic cake which is super moist and delicious.
- This recipe is a great way to use up your over-ripe bananas on hand, in the cake itself and in the topping of the cake as well.
- Completely homemade, this has the best texture and moistness.
- This recipe is similar to my pineapple upside down cake and it is one of the best recipe.
This cake is super easy and the end results are to die for. If you love caramel drizzle over any of your desserts, then this Banana Upside Down Banana Cake already comes packed full of that goodness.
If you want to have more of caramel, then double up the caramel sauce ingredients so you would have more caramel sauce to drizzle over the cake.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING BANANA UPSIDE DOWN CAKE:
- Use a 9″ round spring-form pan, although this has worked for me in the standard 9″ cake pan others have had trouble with the batter spilling over, so to be safe, use a higher sided pan.
- Use ripe bananas for best taste.
- You could skip adding salt when making the caramel sauce. But salt adds nice taste to the sauce like salted caramel sauce.
- Never leave the cake to cool completely. Just let the cake cool for 2 minutes after you remove from the oven and unmould immediately. Else the caramel may harden and the cake won’t come out of the pan.
