This cake is so moist. Topped with vanilla ice cream it is just like a sundae. It was a hit at our church lunch.

Chocolate PBJ Banana Upside-Down Cake drizzled with caramel and chocolate chips.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is definitely not your traditional dump cake and Elvis would probably love it. It's a moist chocolate cake meshed with a peanut butter banana sandwich. The sliced banana cooks on the bottom and caramelizes with the peanut butter and jelly. It creates its own caramel sauce when flipped. Super easy to make, serve with a little caramel sauce drizzled over the top and a scoop of ice cream.

Test Kitchen Tips

In step 2, we suggest also covering the bottom of the pan with parchment paper to ensure the cake doesn't stick.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix cake as directed on the box. Set aside.

Step 2

Spray a 9x13 pan with butter cooking spray.
Step 3

In a small bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar.
Step 4

Spread the mixture on the bottom of the baking dish.
Step 5

Slice the bananas the long way and cut them in half. Arrange in the bottom of the pan.
Step 6

Put peanut butter, by the teaspoons, on the bottom of the pan. Arrange the jelly in open areas. Toss in chocolate morsels.
Step 7

Pour cake batter over the ingredients.
Step 8

Bake for 45 mins or until knife inserted comes out clean.
Step 9

Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 10

Loosen the sides and invert the cake onto a platter. Cut into squares and serve.
Step 11

If you want a more moist and gooey Dump Cake, mix 6 tbsp butter, 1/2 c brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract. Heat in microwave for 45 seconds and pour over cake.
