Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup ripe bananas (mashed, about 2 medium bananas)
• 1 cup buttermilk (or plant-based milk mixed with 1 tbsp vinegar)
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup hot water

For the Toffee Sauce:

• ½ cup unsalted butter (or plant-based butter)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Topping:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option)
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2-3 ripe bananas, sliced (for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Finally, stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth.

3. Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

4. Make the Toffee Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until melted. Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5-7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool.

5. Make the Whipped Cream Topping: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

6. Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Drizzle a layer of toffee sauce over the top and add a layer of sliced bananas. Place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with whipped cream.
