Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Yellow or White Cake Mix
- 3 to 4 large overripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or a light coating of butter. In a medium bowl, peel the overripe bananas and mash them thoroughly with a fork until they reach a smooth, liquid-like consistency with only a few small lumps remaining.
- Spread the mashed bananas evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the top of the banana layer, ensuring it covers the fruit completely. Finally, pour the melted butter slowly over the dry cake mix, trying to moisten as much of the powder as possible. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it sit for at least 10 minutes to set. This “dump cake” style dessert is best served warm. Scoop generous portions into bowls and top with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream. For a bakery-style finish, drizzle a little caramel sauce over the top before serving.
