Burnt Butter Banana Cake


Mmmm the smell of this cake is intense, the burnt butter combined with roasted bananas saturate the flavours of a basic tea cake. Will serve it to the minions with caramel sauce and icecream :)

Brown butter banana cake

Preheat oven to 170C (340F), with a rack centred. Very generously grease a springform cake tin.

Roast banana's in skin for 15mins.

115g unsalted butter
1/2 c brown or raw sugar

Melt butter in a small saucepan on medium heat, stirring with a spatula (scrape the bottom of the pan often) until brown flecks appear at the bottom. Remove from heat immediately and stir in sugar. Set aside to cool briefly. Meanwhile, beat the following in one medium sized bowl:

3 very ripe roasted bananas, mashed
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Stir the brown butter/sugar mix into the bowl until fully incorporated. Sift over the following in four lots, whisking each addition in and fully incorporating before adding the next lot:

1 1/2 c plain flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
pinch salt
Bake on centre rack for 35-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted comes out clean. Cool on a rack.
