Instructions
- For Banana Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line an 8x8" square pan with foil or parchment paper. Spray with nonstick spray
- In a bowl mix the flour, salt, and baking soda
- In another bowl mix the butter and sugars using a mixer on medium-high speed until the butter becomes fluffy. About 3 minutes
- Add the banana, egg, sour cream and vanilla. Mix well
- Finally, add the flour mixture slowly
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let it cool before frosting
- For Frosting
- Place the butter on a pot
- Melt over medium heat
- When the butter starts boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and stir frequently to prevent from burning
- When the butter starts to smell nutty or you see the milk solids getting darker, remove from heat
- Toss the brown butter, sugar, salt, and heavy cream in the bowl of a mixer
- Mix on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes or until the frosting becomes creamy and airy. If the mixture seems too stiff, add more cream
