Method

  1. Make the cake batter: add the softened unsalted butter and caster sugar to a bowl and whisk until pale and fluffy.

  2. Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract and whisk through.

  3. Fold in the self‑raising flour until no white flour bits remain.

  4. For the banoffee caramel, melt the 75 g butter in a pan over medium heat until foamy.

  5. Stir in the light brown sugar and mix until combined, then add a splash of boiling water and whisk vigorously if it splits.

  6. Turn the heat to low and carefully place the banana slices, cut side down, in the pan.

  7. Turn the heat off and gently spoon the cake batter over the caramel, being careful not to mix it with the caramel.

  8. Bake in a pre‑heated oven at 350°F for 35 minutes.

  9. Flip the cake onto a plate and serve with a generous dollop of ice cream.
