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. 

Papadeli orange and cinnamon cake


Papadeli cakes
Orange and cinnamon cake

 People just can’t get enough of this deliciously moist orange cake. It is superb with crème fraiche as a pudding or on its own with a big mug of coffee. The other great thing about it is it uses stale bread – what better use could it be put to! Once tasted, never forgotten!

Ingredients

2oz slightly stale white breadcrumbs.
3-4 oz ground almonds
7 oz caster sugar
1 large teaspoon of baking powder
7fl oz sunflower oil
4 eggs
1 whole lemon’s zest, finely grated
1 whole orange’s zest, finely grated

Citrus syrup
Juice of one whole orange
Juice of one whole lemon
3oz sugar
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves
cream or Greek yoghurt

Grease and flour an 8inch tin. Line the base with greaseproof paper.
Mix the sugar, breadcrumbs, almonds and baking powder.
Whisk the oil into the eggs, and add to the dry ingredients.
Pour in the orange and lemon zest.
Spoon the mixture into the tin. Put into a cold oven and turn on the heat to 180 degrees centigrade/350 degrees Fahrenheit or gas mark 4.
Bake for 45-60 minutes (until it’s golden brown).
Cool for about 5 minutes and turn out onto a plate.

To make the citrus syrup, put all the ingredients into a saucepan.  Bring to the boil gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.  Simmer for 3 minutes.  While the cake is still warm, use a skewer to make holes and pour the syrup into the holes.  Leave for a little and then spoon on excess syrup until it’s all used.
Use the cinnamon stick and clove to decorate the cake.
