Ingredients:

Cake Layers:

• 2-3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• ½ cup vegetable oil

Caramel Cream Filling:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 3 tbsp powdered sugar

Topping:

• 2 bananas, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 cup caramel sauce
• Crumbled graham crackers (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake Layers:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
   • In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: mashed bananas, eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.
   • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
   • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
   • Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembling.
2. Make the Caramel Cream Filling:
   • In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
   • Gently fold in the caramel sauce until well incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Assemble the Cake:
   • Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of caramel cream filling on top.
   • Add a layer of banana slices and drizzle with caramel sauce.
   • Repeat with the second cake layer, topping with more caramel cream and sliced bananas.
   • Garnish with graham cracker crumbs if desired.
4. Final Touch:
   • Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set.

Conclusion:

This layered banana caramel cream cake is a show-stopping dessert that combines moist banana layers, luscious caramel cream, and a delightful crunch from the optional graham cracker topping. It’s guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and indulgence. Enjoy it chilled for the best experience!
