Ingredients

For the caramelized banana

1 ½ tablespoons salted butter , melted

3 tablespoons brown sugar

1 medium banana , sliced

For the cake:

2 tablespoons salted butter , softened

6 tablespoons sugar

1 large egg

⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract

6 tablespoons all purpose flour

⅛ teaspoon baking powder

⅛ teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons milk
Directions

Make the caramelized bananas

Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C).  (Air Fryer 330°)

Grease a 5×5 inch baking dish or a 4×6 inch baking dish with butter. Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any possible spills.

In a small bowl, stir melted butter and brown sugar together.

Pour the brown sugar/butter mixture over the bottom of the pan and spread out to the edges. Top with sliced bananas.

Make the cake

In a medium-sized bowl, beat butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate small bowl.

Add to butter/sugar mixture and mix to combine.

Stir in the milk.

Spread the batter evenly over the top of the bananas. Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden.  (Air Fryer 32-37 Minutes)

Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before inverting over a plate.

Slice, and enjoy!
Notes

Expert Tips

Ripeness: Ensure your banana is ripe, which will allow for optimal sweetness and caramelization.

Pan Size: A 5×5 or 4×6 inch dish is recommended. Too big, and the cake will be thin; too small, and it may overflow.

Cooling: Allow the cake to slightly cool before inverting to maintain its shape.
