BANANA SNACKING CAKE WITH SALTED CARAMEL GLAZE
This buttery snacking cake is a bit like banana bread, but richer, and topped with a sticky caramel frosting that is dotted with crunchy flakes of sea salt. The frosting, made from brown sugar and heavy cream, is easier than a classic caramel, but just as compelling, with the sea salt contrasting perfectly with its sweetness. It's important to use ripe bananas here. Soft, spotty ones with dark yellow skins will be the sweetest and most complex. Firm, pale yellow bananas just don't have enough intensity to flavor the cake.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-9-inch pan, and then line with parchment paper, letting the two long ends hang over the edges by at least 2 inches.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking soda and salt. Whisk in bananas, melted butter, sour cream, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla.
- Scrape into baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed in the center, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
- When cake is cool, make the glaze: In a medium or large pot (not a small one because the mixture will bubble up), combine butter, brown sugar, heavy cream and salt. Bring to a full boil and continue to boil over medium heat for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Whisk in confectioners' sugar until smooth, then immediately pour over cooled cake. Spread evenly across cake and let set for at least 30 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt before serving.

BANANA & RUM CARAMEL CAKE
This single layer cake looks beautiful and tastes great - I always love the combination of banana with caramel. The addition of rum to the caramel takes it over the top! You can even replace the banana in this recipe with pumpkin puree for fall baking.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350oF, grease and line a deep 9-inch cake tin.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and light brown sugar together until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well mixed. Stir in the mashed banana and yoghurt. Add the flour, salt and baking powder to the bowl and stir together until just combined. Pour into the prepared cake tin and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Caramel:.
- Place the heavy cream and butter in a small pot over a low heat so that the butter melts and the cream starts to steam.
- Meanwhile heat the sugar in a light-coloured pan over a medium heat. Once the sugar starts to melt start to tilt and swirl the pan so that the sugar mixes with the melted caramel and evenly melts. Once the sugar has all melted and has turned from light yellow to amber, turn the heat down to low and pour in the warm cream and butter mixture - this will bubble up so be careful. Stir together until smooth then take off the heat and stir in the salt. Let cool for 5 minutes then stir in the rum. Leave to cool completely.
- Decorate:.
- Place the heavy cream in a medium bowl and beat with a whisk until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake then pour over the cooled caramel. Top with the pecans and sliced banana. Serve immediately or keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Blend the cubed butter into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or fingertips until coarse crumbs form. In a small bowl combine the milk or cream, egg and vanilla. Add liquid mixture to flour mixture and stir just until combined.
- Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough gently a few times. Pat into a 7 inch round and cut the dough with a 2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter. Spread the rounds evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the scones with cream or milk.
- Bake for about 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned, then remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- While biscuits are baking, caramelize the bananas and make the whipped cocoa creme fraiche. In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the banana slices and cook, turning them occasionally with a rubber spatula until they begin to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the brown sugar and continue cooking for another minute. Stir in the rum and cook until the liquid has reduced slightly, about 1 minute.
