Brown Butter Roasted Banana Cake by Ashiashome

Ingredients

• 4 large ripe bananas
• 170g (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
• 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
• 150g (3/4 cup) light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 250g (2 cup) all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 120ml (1/2 cup) sour cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast unpeeled bananas on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes until skins are black and bananas are soft.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling constantly until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, then set aside to cool.
3. Peel the roasted bananas, mash them in a bowl, and stir in the cooled brown butter.
4. Whisk together the sugars, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl, then stir in the banana-butter mixture over medium heat until well combined, about 8 min.
5. Fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined, then stir in the sour cream.
6. Pour batter into a greased 9-inch loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
