Banana Cake!
Almost everyone has tasted banana cake, at least once in their life time!
Preference is subjective though.
Some of us just adore banana cake whilst some has that 'meh' feeling.
I love banana cakes, but not going overly crazy, obsessed with one.
Upside Down Salted Caramel Banana Cake!
But this upside down Salted Caramel Banana Cake is on another level of its own!
A slice of this delicious banana cake has got me hooked.
Just by looking at the beauty of the caramelised banana slices on the cake, once the cake is flipped over is so satisfying.
The golden glistening, slightly salty caramel sauce makes me want to savour as soon as I possibly can (but I had to wait for the photoshoot to be over!!)

Easy Banana Cake
From the series of photos above and recipe below, one can tell how easy it is to make this caramelised upside down banana cake.If you are bored with the classic banana cake, this is your go to banana cake.
It's my go to Banana Cake recipe from now on.
Just because its tasty and pretty :D
How do I serve this Salted Caramel Banana Cake?
Best serve when it is still warm.
But room temperature cake is still as delicious as the warm slice banana cake.
Salted Caramel Banana Cake best eaten within 3 days.
Banana slices would turn colour (slightly purple-ish) after the second day.
The banana cake has lost all its charm, glisten all gone and it was just not as pretty but still as tasty.
Can I freeze this Salted Caramel Banana Cake?
No! It's not for the freezer.The banana slices would be mushy and not pleasant to look at IMHO :P.
