Having ripe bananas at home and you have no idea what to do with them? Worry not! Upside down Banana Loaf Cake is simply delicious, the best accompaniment for tea time, also a wonderful snack if you have kids at home. This utterly butterly delicious banana cake is definitely going to be everyone's favorite snack. 

My husband happened to see a video on facebook of a banana bread ice cream cake, and he wanted me to bake it for him. Since I had no ice cream in the freezer, I thought of giving it a try with my own ideas. I always loved the caramel dripping effect, so I took my take on the upside-down caramel banana loaf. When I was experimenting with my recipe, I had my cousins come over unexpectedly. They loved the loaf, more than them their kids kept munching on them and came asking for more. Everyone wanted the recipe. It was an adapted version of the one I saw on facebook and it came out so good.

The smell that came from the oven while I had them bake made me go bonkers, I just couldn't wait to try them. I loved how the caramel glaze came out on the top. Feel free to add a little whipped cream, when making the sauce (it will spill all over initially, be careful) if you like more of caramel than the glaze effect. Mind that the glaze one is very sweet, I would definitely try the caramel version the next time.
