- 1.5 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 100 gm Butter softened
- 1 cup Milk condensed
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3.5 Bananas mashed, ripe
Spiced Caramel Glaze
- 4 tbsp Sugar brown
- 3 tbsp Water
- 1 cup Nuts cashews), chopped (almonds, mixed, walnuts
- 1/4 cup Raisins chopped
- 2 tbsp Cranberries chopped, dried
- 2 tbsp Tutti Frutti
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom ground
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg ground
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, ground, optional
For Batter
- 1/2 cup Club Soda
Garnish (optional)
- 2 tbsp Walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the spiced caramel glaze. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and water. Cook, without stirring, until the sugar melts and turns a rich amber color.
- Carefully add the chopped mixed nuts, raisins, cranberries, tutti frutti, and spices to the caramel. Stir to coat. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and condensed milk until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the spiced caramel nut mixture.
- Add the club soda a little at a time, mixing until the batter reaches a pouring consistency. This creates a light and airy texture.
- Fill the prepared muffin tin about two-thirds full. Garnish with chopped walnuts, if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the mini cakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Baking times may vary depending on your oven, so adjust accordingly or check for doneness as needed.
- Spices are optional.
- Caramelized nuts are also optional; you can use plain walnuts instead.
- Instead of mini cakes, you can bake one 8-inch cake, which typically takes 35 minutes.
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter. This enhances their nutty notes and adds a pleasant crunch.
- If you're short on time, pre-made caramel sauce can be used to coat the nuts. Just warm it gently to make it easier to work with.
Storage Instructions
- Let the cakes cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
- Placing a slice of apple in the container can help retain moisture for up to three days.
