A super yummy, decadent, and down right delicious Caramel Banana Cake recipe that will have the whole family licking their lips and asking for seconds.
What’s better than a banana cake? A caramel banana cake of course! This Caramel Banana Cake recipe is incredibly delicious, and the addition of caramel really is the icing on the cake (sorry, I couldn’t help myself!).
I have been making this cake for my son’s birthday for years as it is his absolute favourite… and one of mine too!
Overripe bananas are the best to use when baking. To make sure you always have perfect baking bananas on hand, a good tip is to pop them in the freezer when they start to look a bit sad. When you’re ready to bake some banana goodies – like this tasty Caramel Banana Cake or my Chocolate Banana Muffins – you can simply pull them out of the freezer and you’re good to go.
FYI – This batter tastes sooo good!!
