Papadeli banana & maple syrup cake


Papadeli cakes
Banana + maple syrup cake

A deliciously more-ish sticky cake from Papadeli.
Ingredients

150g unsalted butter
55g soft brown sugar
60ml maple syrup
3-4 bananas, peeled and cut in half lengthways
230g castor sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
160g self raising flour
1 tspn baking powder


This cake both looks and tastes beautiful. Serve with some vanilla ice cream or crème fraiche.  Some like it warmed a little so that the ice cream melts deliciously over it!

How

Preheat oven to gas 4.
Topping:
Melt  the 50g of butter, brown sugar and syrup in a small saucepan.  Heat until golden brown.
Pour into a cake tin (9 inch).
Arrange the bananas  flat side down in the tin.

Cake
Beat the remaining sugar and butter until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a  time, then mix in the vanilla.  Fold in the flour and baking powder.  Spoon the mixture into the cake tin to cover the bananas.

Bake the cake for 35 minutes.  It is a good idea to place on a baking tray in the oven just in case the syrup escapes!

When golden brown, remove from the oven and leave in the tin to cool a little.  Transfer to a large plate.
