Notes

  1. Use ripe bananas for best taste.
  2. You could skip adding salt when making the caramel sauce. But salt adds nice taste to the sauce like salted caramel sauce.
  3. 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.

STORAGE 

  • You can keep the cake in a air tight container at room temp for one day.
  • Store in fridge for longer shelf life.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS
