How to Make Bananas Foster Upside Down Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of the softened butter, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of dark rum (optional).
- Pour the brown sugar mixture into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly.
- Arrange banana slices in a circular pattern over the brown sugar mixture.
- In a large bowl, cream together the remaining 1/2 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently spoon the batter over the bananas, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
- Run a small knife or spatula around the edges of the cake to loosen it.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
