How to Make Banana Cake With Most Excellent Caramel Frosting
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box.
- Prepare the cake batter according to the cake mix instructions, adding the mashed bananas and oil.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for the time specified on the cake mix box, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (This will likely be around 30-35 minutes).
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, heavy cream, and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth and thickened. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the caramel cool slightly before spreading it evenly over the cooled cake.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
