How to Make Banana Walnut Upside Down Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, and walnuts. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Pour mixture into prepared pan and spread evenly.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter over the brown sugar-walnut mixture in the pan. Spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
