Now for the recipe. As you all know I absolute adore Bundt tins. The fact that the tin does all the work in making a spectacular looking bake and I get all the credit (and oohs and ahhs) is a great thing. Of course these wonderful tins do need a fab recipe to get an amazing tasting cake, they are magic but even their superpowers need a small amount of help! So hopefully this is where I come in.
250g unsalted butter, softened
300g soft brown sugar
4 eggs
3 tbsp golden syrup
100ml double cream
440g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
3 medium (V ripe) bananas mashed
100g chopped pecans (optional)
5-6 heaped tbsp of dulce leche toffee sauce
Sprinkles or if using pecans a few more finely chopped pecans
You will also need a 23cm (9 inch) bundt tin, well greased with cake-release spray (I use dr oetker)
Preheat the oven to 160ÂșC
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl, or in a free-standing machine, until light and fluffy.
Beat the eggs together in a jug then gradually add to the creamed butter.
Add the syrup, bananas and cream and mix to combine.
Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10-15 mins before turning out to cool completely.
Warm the toffee sauce ever so slightly and spoon into a disposable piping bag, pipe swirls over the top of the cake and finish with sprinkles of nuts, and enjoy the oohs and aahs.
#TOPTIP When I take my baked cake from the oven I rest a wire rack over the surface of the hot cake tin with a damp tea-towel, the steam helps release the cake really easily.
