TO SERVE:
Method
- 1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C / 160°C fan assisted and line a 20x30cm (8x11 inch) rectangle baking tin with parchment paper.
- 2. With an electric mixer or by hand, cream together sugar and butter. Add the mashed banana and eggs then mix until combined.
- 3. Add the yoghurt, vanilla and salt and mix until combined.
- 4. Finally, add the flour and mix just until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- 5. Pour batter into prepared baking tin and bake until a knife or skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
- 6. Leave to cool in the tin on a wire rack. Once cool, you can remove sponge from the pan and turn it over on a cutting board then carefully peel the parchment away from the cake. Return the sponge to the tin (with or without the parchment paper).
- 7. Use the handle of a wooden spoon (or something similar, roughly the circumference of a pencil) to poke 4 rows of 6 holes along the cake almost to the bottom of the pan.
- 8. Spoon the caramel from the tin directly onto the cake then use a spatula or the back of a large spoon to spread it evenly over the top.
- 9. Serve portions of the traybake with large dollops of whipped cream, a sprinkling of shaved dark chocolate and a slice or two of fresh banana.
- 10. Store the cake in the fridge covered with clingfilm or re-usable food wraps for up to 5 days. Allow to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavour.
