Recipe: Banana Bread Layer Cake
Ingredients:
For the cake:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 2 large eggs
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
For the caramel drizzle:
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/4 cup unsalted butter
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the whipped cream:
* 2 cups heavy cream
* 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch (23cm) round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat just until combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. For the caramel drizzle, combine heavy cream, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the caramel turns golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
8. For the whipped cream, beat heavy cream and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
9. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Drizzle with caramel, followed by a dollop of whipped cream. Repeat with the remaining two cake layers. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped nuts or chocolate shavings, if desired.
