How to Make Banana Upside Cake Bolo De Banana

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In an oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) or baking pan, heat 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it melts into a rich amber caramel. Be careful not to burn it!
  3. Carefully pour the caramel into the prepared pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Let it cool slightly.
  4. Arrange sliced bananas (about 3-4 ripe bananas, sliced) in a single layer over the caramel.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  6. In a blender, combine ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and the mashed bananas (about 1 ripe banana, mashed). Blend until smooth.
  7. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter over the bananas in the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. The caramel will be on top!
