Banana Upside Down Cake is a unimaginably wet and delightful pastry, yet it makes an incredible breakfast or tidbit, as well. You can't turn out badly on the off chance that you serve this cake with toasted walnuts and caramel sauce!

This scrumptious Banana Upside Down Cake has rich flavor on account of crushed bananas in the hitter and a layer of banana cuts in caramel sauce on top. This cake could be breakfast! It's rich and thick cake, however clammy in the meantime. It's something among bread and a cake, not quite the same as this equaly heavenly Custard Cake.

This formula begins with creaming spread and sugar, as the vast majority of the cake formula. It ought to give light and breezy surface, yet I consolidated universally handy flour and entire wheat flour to make more extravagant flavor and denser surface. It goes truly well with caramel and banana.

So at last, this Banana Upside Down Cake ended up extraordinary yet look like to heavenly banana bread. To give soggy surface I utilized plain Greek yogurt, yet you could utilize sharp cream also.
