FAQ ❓

How to adjust sugar quantities?

The riper the bananas, the less sugar the cake will need. Adjust the quantity (over ripe banana: ⅓ cup of sugar, just-ripe banana: ½ cup).

Which fruit to use?

You can use either ripe or over-ripe bananas (as mentioned above, be careful to adjust the amount of sugar). You can also try our peach recipe, or experiment with seasonal fruit. It's best to use fruit that will release juice when cooked ;-).

How to eat this upside-down banana cake?

Serve at room temperature or lukewarm, but not cold!

How to store banana upside-down cake?

Keep refrigerated in an airtight container or wrapped in cling film.
