Instructions

  • Make the Toffee Filling: Simmer unopened can of condensed milk in water for 2 hours. Cool completely before opening.

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round pans.

  • Prepare the Batter: Mash bananas with lemon juice. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Alternate adding sour cream and dry ingredients. Fold in bananas and optional chocolate.

  • Bake: Divide into pans. Bake 28–32 minutes. Cool completely before assembling.

  • Frosting: Whip butter until fluffy. Add cream, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar gradually. Whip in egg whites if using.

 

  • Assemble the Cake: Level each layer (remove the top of the cake if needed). Pipe frosting dam, spread dulce de leche, and add banana slices between layers. Chill between steps. Finish with frosting and drizzle caramel sauce on top.

Notes

Chill the cake between stacking and final decorating to lock in the structure. Add sliced bananas just before serving to keep them fresh.
