Cake ingredients:

Caramel ingredients:

Prepare the cake:

place eggs in a bowl
add sugar and the lemon zest
whisk the ingredients with an electric mixer until you obtain a foamy and light mixture
add the Greek yogurt
sift the flours and add the baking powder into the batter, mix well in 1 minute

Prepare caramel:

Put sugar and water into a saucepan
Heat over medium heat to dissolve the sugar and let it golden to create the caramel, occasionally rotating the saucepan to mix.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in another saucepan.
When the caramel has darkened, turn off heat, add the melted butter to it.

Assemble the cake:

Peel the bananas, cut into half. Some might slice the banana, but I think presenting it in halves is more appealing, just personal reference.
Take a baking pan with a diameter of 22 cm, butter it, and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Pour half of the caramel to the cake pan, turn the mold around so that the caramel can cover the bottom.
Arrange the banana on top
Pour the rest of the caramel over the bananas and then pour the mixture into the baking pan
Bake the cake at 180°C for 35 minutes (or in a convection oven at 150°C for 25 minutes).

Once cooked, remove the baking pan from the oven and let it cool for just 5 minutes
Invert it onto a serving plate, remove the pan, and gently peel off the parchment paper from the base
Your upside-down banana cake is ready to be enjoyed
