How to Make Banana Syrup Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake tin.
  2. In a saucepan, melt 100g (½ cup) butter with 150g (¾ cup) packed brown sugar over low heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until smooth. Pour into the prepared cake tin and swirl to coat the bottom.
  3. Arrange 2-3 ripe bananas, sliced into ½-inch thick rounds, in a single layer over the caramel.
  4. In a medium bowl, sift together 250g (2 cups) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg. Set aside.
  5. In a separate bowl, mash 2 very ripe bananas. Stir in 125ml (½ cup) sour cream. Set aside.
  6. In a large bowl, cream together 100g (½ cup) softened butter and 200g (1 cup) caster sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the mashed banana mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  9. Carefully pour the batter over the caramel and bananas in the prepared tin. Spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  12. Drizzle generously with golden syrup and serve warm with whipped cream.
