Dreamy Banana Cake
This cake has most delicious blend of flavors and textures. Two layers of moist banana cake are topped with a luscious caramel frosting, a sweet and salty caramel sauce, crunchy walnuts and sweet banana slices. The perfect cake for any occasion! That salted caramel and banana combination were just meant to be. It creates sweet and rich dessert perfection. Is it almost your birthday? Or let’s go with half birthday or even quarterly birthday because you need to try this epically delicious Banana Cake with Salted Caramel Frosting and there’s no better excuse than for a birthday!
Salted Caramel Sauce is a Must
Salted caramel has long been one of my favorite treat of mine and what makes it so special really is the salt. Last December I had the opportunity to attend Morton Salt’s Next Door Chef event in New Orleans along with several other guests. It was such a fun dinner experience where they converted someones home into an actual pop-up restaurant for a day. Acclaimed chef Nina Compton coached a home cook and then this cook prepared an incredible meal for us in which different types of Morton salt were used.
At the event we tried a number of inspiring dishes where we could taste how different types of salt transformed each dish, from appetizer and drinks, to side dish, to the main dish and then onto dessert. Of course, my favorite part of the meal was the Coconut Caramel Budino with Grilled Mangos and Morton Kosher Salt which was served for dessert. I just love the way the salt really highlighted that dessert and it does just the same here! The dinner was so inspiring! I couldn’t say a negative thing about anything I tried. And part of the reason it was all so good was that it was properly seasoned with salt. Salt makes a world of difference in everything we cook and bake. It can drastically change the end result. Can you imagine a world of food without salt??
