Banana & Blueberry Cake With Vanilla Buttercream And Caramel Drizzle
- 6 bananas overripe
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt organic
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter room temp
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries tossed with 1/4 cup flour
- 2 1/2 sticks butter room temp
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 10 caramel chewy candies
- 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl mash the bananas and mix with the eggs, vanilla and yogurt.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together the room temp butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a small bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Toss the blueberries with a 1/4 cup of flour in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add half the banana mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and mix with the hand mixer until mostly combined.
- Add half the flour mixture next and again mix until just mostly combined.
- Next add the remaining banana mixture, mix. Followed by the remaining flour mixture, mix. Do not over mix.
- Using a spoon or rubber spatula, gently stir in the blueberries.
- Prepare two 9 or 10 inch round baking pans with butter or sprayed with non stick spray. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans.
- Place the pans on a large baking sheet and bake for approx 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Rotate the pans once halfway through the cooking time for even baking.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely.
- While they are cooling you can make the buttercream. In a large bowl add the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and whipping cream. Whip with a hand mixer until light and fluffy {will take about 5-6
- minutes depending on the strength of your mixer}.
- Once the cake is completely cooled you can frost it. Place one cake round onto a platter or cake stand and add a thin layer of the buttercream to cover the top. Carefully place the other round directly on top and frost the entire cake.
- For the caramel drizzle, place the caramels and cream into a small saucepan over very low heat. Stir constantly until melted and smooth. Allow the caramel to cool before drizzling over the cake.
