A fresh take on a classic dessert
This cake is an updated take on the classic banoffee pie, which was popularised in the UK in the 1970s but may have actually originated in the US (opinions vary on the matter). Either way, our caramel and chocolate-laced banana treat will satisfy even the sweetest of tooths.
The ultimate show-off treat
Though this recipe is deceptively simple to make, the layering, colour contrast, flavour combination and fancy chocolate topping makes it the perfect centrepiece to wow your friends. They’ll definitely want a second, third and perhaps even a fourth slice!
Party prep tips
Want to make this stand-out cake shine even more for a special party? You can do so easily by altering the topping. Crumbled macarons, pick and mix sweets, pralines, chocolate pretzels – all kinds of sweet treats will work well, so get creative! If you want to stick with the banana theme, try using chocolate-dipped dried banana slices.
Storage recommendations
To keep the cake fresh, it’s best to store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If you want to refrigerate the cake, make sure to wrap it in plastic so it doesn’t absorb any unwanted odours.
