Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Salted Caramel Banana Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch or 9-inch round baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, mashed ripe bananas, eggs, honey, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
  6. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. In a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese with vanilla extract and maple syrup until fluffy and smooth.
  8. Once the cake is cool, spread the cream cheese frosting on top and drizzle with caramel sauce.
