Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch cake pans. In a bowl, mix bananas, eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Combine both mixtures until smooth. Divide into pans and bake 20–25 minutes. Cool completely.
- In a saucepan, heat sugar and water until deep amber. Carefully stir in cream, salt, and vanilla. Simmer 1–2 minutes. Cool.
- Whip cold cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff. Chill until ready.
- To assemble, layer cake with whipped cream and caramel. Repeat. Top with cream swirls, sliced bananas, biscuit crumbs, and caramel drizzle. Chill 2–3 hours before slicing.
Notes
- For a vegan twist, use coconut cream and flax eggs.
- Swap sugar for stevia and use sugar-free caramel if needed.
