BANANAS FOSTER CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line 30 muffin cups with paper liners.
• In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, water, oil and eggs on low speed for 1 minute. Add the bananas and rum extract and beat on medium speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Fill each cup 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 18-23 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Once cool, cut a cone shape about 3/4" in diameter and 3/4" deep with a sharp paring knife. Cut off the pointed end of the cone and reserve the top. Fill each hole with about 1 teaspoon of the dulce de leche, then cover with the reserved tops.
• To make the frosting, beat the butter with an electric mixer on medium-high heat until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar slowly, beating on low. Once all of the sugar has been added, beat on medium for 1 minute. Add 3 tablespoons of the milk and the rum extract. Beat until light and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency. Add food coloring and beat in, if desired.
• Pipe the frosting on top of each of the cupcakes. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

UPSIDE-DOWN BANANAS FOSTER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter just the sides of a 9-inch round cake pan.
• For the caramel topping: Stir the sugar and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Stop stirring, and gently swirl the saucepan occasionally until the mixture is the color of deep amber, 8 to 9 minutes. If needed, brush any sugar crystals off the side of the pan with a wet pastry brush. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and carefully whisk in the butter (take care: the mixture can bubble up considerably). Pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan, tilting the pan to cover most of the bottom (be careful: the pan will be very hot from the caramel). Arrange the bananas in a single, tight layer, then cover any gaps with the remaining slices.
• For the cake: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk and sour cream in a small bowl.
• Beat the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition and scraping down the side of the bowl as needed, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low, and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk-sour cream mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
• Pour the batter over the bananas in the cake pan, and spread evenly. Bake the cake until it is golden brown and bounces back when pressed and a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the center, 50 to 60 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake to separate it from the pan. Poke the cake all over with a skewer, and brush the cake with the rum. Let cool in the pan on a rack until just cool enough to handle, 20 to 30 minutes. Invert a serving platter over the cake pan and, while holding them together, quickly flip them over so the cake unmolds, banana-side up. Let cool completely. Cut into wedges, and serve.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar. Stir together and cook for a minute or two. Pour in the cream and stir it around to combine.
• Peel the bananas and slice them on the bias inside the peel. Drop the slices into the pan. Next, add the chopped nuts and stir them into the sauce. Then - and this is where you need to be a little careful - stir in the rum. Let it start to bubble, and then carefully use a long lighter to ignite it. (Be sure to have a lid handy in case you need to extinguish the flame.) Let the fire burn and go out (it'll only take about 30 seconds or so), and then stir in the cinnamon at the end. You may also cook the mixture without flambeing it.
