[OC] Upside-Down Banana Cake

Upside-Down Banana Cake

This recipe is designed for a small round cake pan (16 cm / 6.3 inches in diameter). If you have a standard-sized cake pan, you should double the proportions.

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 50 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

For the Cake Batter

  • 75 g butter
  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 plain yogurt
  • 120 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 level teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder (or vanilla extract)

For the Caramelized Bananas

  • 30 g butter
  • 1 large pinch of salt
  • 45 g sugar
  • 3 ripe bananas (they should be ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake batter: In one bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, vanilla). In another bowl, mix all the liquid/wet ingredients together (melted butter, sugar, egg, yogurt). Combine the two mixtures, stirring just until combined.Note: Do not overmix, otherwise the cake will become dense and lose its fluffiness when baked.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 170°C (340°F).
  3. Make the caramel: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and salt for the bananas. Melt over medium heat until the mixture is completely melted and lightly caramelized. Do not let it get too dark, as it will continue to cook in the oven.
  4. Assemble: Grease your cake pan (preferably a springform pan or one with a removable bottom for easy flipping). Pour the warm caramel into the bottom, spreading it evenly to coat the base.
  5. Add the bananas: Peel the bananas, slice them in half lengthwise, and arrange them on top of the caramel with the flat side facing down.
  6. Bake: Pour the cake batter evenly over the bananas. Bake for approximately 50 minutes. Check if it's done by inserting a wooden toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.

Storage

You can keep this cake for 2 to 3 days at room temperature, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. Enjoy!

large mousse batch

I never got to have an internship due to some financial circumstances but I have a nice skill set beyond just simpler cakes and pastries from my education which was very expensive :( & then I mostly worked in tiny kitchen.

I feel really confused how you mix/make a large batch of mousse? what are the best recipes and what’s your method? if you’re a professional pastry chef please let me know ♡

Lemon Crémeux and Lavender Gelée Pâté en Croûte

Have been making pâté en croûte and wanted to come up with a dessert variation. This is alternating layers of lavender gelée made with culinary lavender and butterfly pea flower, and lemon crémeux. Topped with lightly toasted Italian meringue. Savory shell to contrast with the sweet interior.

Obstboden Opinions

To pastry cream, or to not pastry cream. That is my question. So, I know that at least in my German family it's most common to have it without any sort of pastry cream or vanilla pudding cream. I'm of the opinion that the cake is a tad dry like this, but I'm wondering if others have it with pastry cream or do something else to make the cake more moist. Thanks for any input!

Eclairs!

My first try at choux dough and it worked out great. I used the recipes for pastry cream and choux dough from Claire Saffitz' Dessert Person. I got the hang of piping the dough about halfway through, but they all baked up nice.

Switching career to baker in the UK?

I've become massively disillusioned with the IT job market and lately I've been considering switching careers and looking into how I could get into baking.

Right now, my only baking experience ishome baking, but it is something that I'm genuinely passionate about and do love.

Are there any bakers here that could offer any insight as to the best way of starting this transition?

In my head I would love to just be making cakes and bread at a semi small bakery… But I have a feeling that's probably just unrealistic!

I love making bread, but I think patisserie is probably where I'm more interested.... are there any courses or schools that would be suitable for someone like me, a newbie who's not in their 20s anymore 😅

Appreciate any advice and input from any bakers out there!
