Banana-Caramel Cake
2.50 c. cake flour
2.50 tsp. baking powder
0.50 tsp. baking soda
0.50 tsp. salt
0.50 c. unsalted butter
1.25 c. granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1.50 tsp. vanilla extract
0.50 c. Buttermilk
1 c. very ripe, mashed bananas
1 recipe Caramel Icing
Make the batter: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a small
brush, lightly coat two 9-inch cake pans with softened butter or
vegetable-oil cooking spray. Dust with flour, tap out any excess, and
set aside. Over a surface covered with a large sheet of waxed or
parchment paper, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Into a medium bowl, resift the flour mixture and set aside. In a large
bowl, using a mixer set on medium-high speed, beat the butter until
light — about 1 minute. Add the sugar and continue to beat for 2
more minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly trial
each addition, and mix in the vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low and
add the flour mixture by thirds, alternating with the buttermilk and
bananas and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just enough to
blend the batter after each addition.
Bake the cake: Divide the batter equally between the pans and bake
on the middle rack of the oven until a tester inserted into each cake
layer comes out clean — 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the cake pans on
a wire rack for 15 minutes. Using a knife, loosen the cake layers
from the pan sides and invert the layers onto the wire rack to cool
completely.
Ice the cake: Use a serrated knife to trim the mounded side of the
cake layers, if necessary. Line the trial of a cake plate with 3-inch-
wide strips of waxed or parchment paper and place a cake layer,
trimmed side down, on top. Place 1 cup Caramel Icing on top of the
layer and spread evenly. Place the second layer, trimmed side down,
on the first and cover the top and sides with the remaining icing.
