Equipment

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a 12-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat and melt butter with brown sugar. Add bananas and sauté until the sugar becomes a syrup. Remove from heat and arrange the bananas neatly in the pan. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. In another bowl, combine egg whites, brown sugar, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the skillet over the sautéed bananas. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the middle of the cake springs back when touched.
  4. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Invert onto a large plate and enjoy
