BANANA & RUM CARAMEL CAKE



Banana & Rum Caramel Cake image

This single layer cake looks beautiful and tastes great - I always love the combination of banana with caramel. The addition of rum to the caramel takes it over the top! You can even replace the banana in this recipe with pumpkin puree for fall baking.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
150 g light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana
1/4 cup plain yogurt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons dark rum
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup pecans
1 small banana, sliced into coins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350oF, grease and line a deep 9-inch cake tin.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and light brown sugar together until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well mixed. Stir in the mashed banana and yoghurt. Add the flour, salt and baking powder to the bowl and stir together until just combined. Pour into the prepared cake tin and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Caramel:.
  • Place the heavy cream and butter in a small pot over a low heat so that the butter melts and the cream starts to steam.
  • Meanwhile heat the sugar in a light-coloured pan over a medium heat. Once the sugar starts to melt start to tilt and swirl the pan so that the sugar mixes with the melted caramel and evenly melts. Once the sugar has all melted and has turned from light yellow to amber, turn the heat down to low and pour in the warm cream and butter mixture - this will bubble up so be careful. Stir together until smooth then take off the heat and stir in the salt. Let cool for 5 minutes then stir in the rum. Leave to cool completely.
  • Decorate:.
  • Place the heavy cream in a medium bowl and beat with a whisk until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake then pour over the cooled caramel. Top with the pecans and sliced banana. Serve immediately or keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

BANANA RUM CAKE (GLUTEN FREE)



Banana Rum Cake (Gluten Free) image

All the other banana rum cakes I found had just a little banana and just a little rum. This cake really focuses on bringing out those flavors. You can make it non-gluten free by substituting regular flour for the rice and tapioca flours, and omitting the xanthan gum.

BANANA RUM CAKE



Banana Rum Cake image

This was originally a banana bread recipe. But I wasn't paying proper attention, and so it turned out more like a cake than a bread. I added more banana than the bread called for (40 grams more), and I think my eggs were bigger. I always use a scale when baking, so that made following the British directions easy.

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

100 g golden raisins, about 2/3 cup
1/3 c rum
175 g flour, about 1 1/3 cups
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
125 g unsalted butter, melted? (4 1/2 ounces - that's a bit more than a stick of butter)
150 g sugar, that's a scant 1/2 cup
2 eggs
4 small, very ripe bananas (about 340g weighed without skin), smashed?
1/2 c pecans, chopped - or more if you like

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Put the golden raisins to soak in the rum. Grease and flour two small bundt pans. If you don't have such a thing, I think that doing just one big bundt pan will work.
  • 2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs. Then stir in the smashed bananas. Add the dry ingredients and stir well, but not furiously. Then stir in the pecans, raisins and rum. Spoon into the bundt pans and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 minutes. When they're ready, an inserted toothpick or fine skewer should come out clean.
  • 3. I think a good addition to this cake would be a simple syrup poured over it. Perhaps in the microwave heat up 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons rum. Poke little holes in the cake, then slowly spoon the syrup all over the cake.

Tips:

  • To ensure a moist and flavorful cake, use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the cake will be.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark rum instead of light rum.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry, crumbly cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

This banana rum cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This classic cake is moist and flavorful, with a rich rum glaze that adds a touch of elegance. It is sure to be a hit at any gathering.
