How to Make Banana Cake With Caramel Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas and stir them into the creamed mixture along with ½ cup milk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- **Prepare the Salted Caramel Frosting:** In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup (1 stick) butter, 1 cup packed brown sugar, and ¼ cup milk.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Gradually beat in 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in a pinch of sea salt.
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously with the salted caramel frosting.
