Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the unsalted butter for a non-dairy alternative?
Yes, you can substitute unsalted butter with a non-dairy alternative such as coconut oil, vegan butter, or even applesauce for a lower fat version. Keep in mind that the flavor and texture may vary slightly.
How should I store the leftover banana caramelized cake?
To store the leftover cake, allow it to cool completely and then place it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or at room temperature for 2-3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, which can last up to 3 months.
What should I do if the cake sinks in the middle after baking?
If your cake sinks in the middle, it may be due to underbaking or overmixing the batter. Ensure you are measuring ingredients accurately and not overmixing once you add the flour. To prevent sinking, test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
