• For the CARAMEL AND WALNUT TOPPING, place butter and brown sugar in a saucepan and stir over low heat until the butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
• Add walnuts and pour over cake before placing into oven.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C (170C fan-forced).
• Generously grease a 22-24cm (9 - 9 1/2") round cake tin, approx 4.5cm (1 1/2") deep, with butter - a non-stick tin is best.
• For the caramel topping, melt 60g butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat.
• Add brown sugar and golden syrup.
• Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Pour caramel sauce into the prepared cake tin, tilting it to ensure it covers the base evenly.
• Now, sift the flour and spices together in a bowl, add a pinch of salt ONLY if you are using unsalted butter.
• In a small bowl, mash the very ripe banana well then mix in the sour cream.
• Now, place the 90g butter and the caster sugar into a medium to large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.
• Add the vanilla extract and then the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Reducing the speed of your mixer to low, add the flour to the butter mixture and beat until just combined.
• Add the mashed banana and sour cream mixture and beat briefly to combine.
• Now, peel the just-ripe bananas and slice them on the diagonal.
• Starting at the outside edge of the cake tin, arrange the banana slices, overlapping each other, in a circle on top of the sauce.
• Now, arrange another circle of banana slices inside the first and so on until you reach the middle of the tin.
• Reserve four smaller slices for the centre and arrange them, overlapping, as best you can.
• Now, carefully spoon the cake batter as evenly as possible into the tin, being sure not to disturb the bananas.
• Take a bread knife and gently smooth the batter until it is spread evenly.
• Place the cake onto the centre shelf of a preheated 180C (170C fan-forced) oven and bake for 45-50 minutes (approximately 40 minutes in a fan-forced oven).
• The cake is cooked when it looks golden brown and the springs back when you touch it - if unsure, insert a skewer into the cake and, if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked.
• Remove the cake from the oven and let it sit for 3 minutes before running a knife around the rim to loosen the sides.
• Now, place a large plate upside down over the top of the cake tin and, being careful not to burn yourself, quickly invert the plate and the tin.
• Leave the cake tin to stand on top of the plate for 20 seconds before removing it.
• If any bananas stick to the top of the tin, simply remove them and press back into the cake.
• Serve warm, drizzled with extra golden syrup and serve with thick cream or ice-cream.
• If you have to make the cake in advance, it can be reheated for a couple of minutes in the microwave.
• If you wish to be really decadent and serve this cake as a dessert, consider making up a batch of the Caramel Sauce that goes with my Little Icky Sticky Puddings, recipe #88565, to serve with it.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and lightly grease a deep 23cm round cake tin, lining the base with baking parchment.
• To make the topping, put the butter and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over a medium heat until melted and combined. Add the vanilla and mix together. Pour the caramel into the cake tin and spread in an even layer. Cut the bananas in half lengthways and arrange on top of the caramel, cut-side down.
• To make the batter, put all the ingredients in a large bowl with 1/4 tsp salt. Use an electric mixer to beat together on a low speed until the batter is smooth and evenly mixed. Pour the batter on top of the bananas and level out with a spatula. Bake in the oven for 55 mins-1 hr or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. If the cake begins to look too dark, cover with foil after 45 mins. Allow to cool in the tin for 10 mins before turning out onto a plate. Best served warm but also delicious at room temperature. Best eaten within 2 days.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease a 20cm square cake tin and line the base with baking parchment. For the cake, pour in half the syrup, swirling to coat the bottom. Peel and halve the 3 ripe bananas lengthways and lay, cut-side down, in the tin.
• Beat together the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and overripe banana with an electric whisk. Tip the flour and pecans into a food processor and pulse until finely ground together. Stir into the butter mixture with the bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon, then stir in the yogurt. Carefully spoon into the tin without dislodging the bananas. Bake the cake for 45 mins-1 hr until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out with only moist crumbs.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Toast the pecans for 1-2 mins in a pan, add the remaining ingredients and cook until the butter has melted. Then bubble for 5 mins until it has thickened a little.
• When the cake is cooked, poke it all over with the skewer - inserting it about halfway into the cake each time. Pour over the remaining maple syrup and allow it to soak in for a few mins, then turn the cake out of the tin, upside-down, onto a serving plate. Reheat the sauce, and serve with Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream.
