Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9" high sided round pan or springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together butter and brown sugar. Spread into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Top the brown sugar mixture with sliced bananas in an even layer. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In another bowl, beat together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
• Add in the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until combined. It will look crumby at this point which is normal.
• Lastly, add in milk and beat until incorporated.
• Spoon the batter over the bananas and gently spread using an offset spatula as the batter is thick.
• Bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes until golden or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
• Run a knife along the pan’s edge to ensure it is released before inverting it over a serving platter.
• Let cool and dust the top with powdered sugar and serve each slice with a dollop of Cool Whip (optional).
