Method
  1. Grease the cake tin and add the parchment paper.
  2. Mix together the crushed digestive biscuits with the melted butter until they are combined and then spread the mixture evenly over the base of the cake.
  3. Leave the base to set in the fridge for about 2h until firm.
  4. When the base is ready, take it out of the tin carefully and place on a cake stand or plate.
  5. Pour the cream into a bowl and whisk until soft peaks form.
  6. Carefully spread the caramel evenly on the bottom of the biscuit base.
  7. Slice the bananas evenly and place on top of the layer of caramel.
  8. Now add the cream on top of the banana and to finish it off, sprinkle the crunchie bar over the top of the cream as artistically as you feel necessary!
  9. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to serve.

Banoffee Cake

March 07

Banoffee pie has to be one of my desert island desserts and while I still love the pie version, this cake certainly gives it a run for its money with its moist banana sponge layered with a sweet caramel frosting.

Salted Caramel Banoffee Éclairs

September 20

Banoffee Pie has to be one of my favourite desserts of all time. It’s right up there with sticky toffee pudding and chocolate fondant, but what sets apart a banoffee pie for me is that wonderful combination of sweet caramel, rich cream and exotic bananas. With those key ingredients it made sense that it would make the ideal filling for an alternative eclair. The results are pretty stunning not to mention the extra dimension of deliciousness a crisp choux pastry bun adds to the mix!

Auntie Ann’s Banana Bread

November 09

This recipe comes from my auntie Ann who spent a lot of time in America over the years and has picked up some really great US inspired recipes. This banana bread is deliciously moist and is extremely easy to throw together. You can add a little sliced banana on top before it goes into the oven or sprinkle some nuts or even stir some chopped nuts or chocolate chips through the batter!
