Question: What size spring form pan was used? Thank You!
Forgive me. When all else falls Read! Looks Tasty. Will try today. I have 4 bananas begging to be loved. Be Blessed and Be Well.!!! Thank You again!!!
When it says white sugar is that granulated or caster please?
Your recipe doesn’t mention caramel mixture gets poured into pan, then banana slices are placed on top of caramel before banana cake mixture is added. That step is missing from instructions. I’m glad I watched the video first to understand this step. Thanks for good demo.
Sorry, I just read your recipe again – and yes it does mention caramel and sliced bananas. My error. Apologies.
