CARAMEL WALNUT BANANA TORTE



Caramel Walnut Banana Torte image

Always a hit, I got this recipe from the Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer instruction book. It's a bit complicated but it is more than worth the effort. My family and friends love it. I like to think it is better for you since it has no sugary frosting! Sometimes I sneak whole wheat flour and/or some flax seeds into the cake to make it healthier. When we have bananas that get too ripe I toss them in the freezer, then I have ripe bananas ready to use at all times, just defrost!

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 cake, 16-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup softened margarine or 1/2 cup butter
1 cup ripe banana, mashed
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup low-fat milk or 1 cup whole milk
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon margarine or 1 tablespoon butter
2 medium thinly sliced bananas
1/2 cup cream, whipped (sweetning optional)

Steps:

  • TOPPING: Place brown sugar, margarine, and cream in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat just until margarine melts, stirring constantly.
  • Pour over bottoms of three 8" or 9" round baking pans, & sprinkle with walnuts.

  • Beat the egg in a separate bowl.

  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and margarine. Cool slightly.
  • Refrigerate 1 hour or more until cake is cool and ready to assemble.
  • ASSEMBLE TORTE: (Save nicest looking layer for the top). Place one cake layer, nut side up on serving plate.
  • Spread with half of filling. Arrange about half of banana slices over filling.
  • Top with second layer, nut side up. Spread with remaining filling and banana slices.
  • Top with remaining cake layer, nut side up.
