1. Video tutorial: Creaming butter and sugar

1. Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Grease and line the bottom of a round 21cm loose-bottomed cake tin. With a wooden spoon or electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until smooth and a pale, creamy colour. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. One at a time, beat each egg into the butter mixture along with a tbsp of the dry mixture, then beat in the milk and fold in the rest of the dry ingredients until well combined.
2. In the bowl that contained the flour, mash the bananas until smooth and lump-free - whizz with the electric mixer if needed - then fold into the rest of the mixture until well combined. Spoon into the tin and smooth over the surface. Bake for 45-50 mins, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then remove from tin and continue cooling on a wire rack.
3. Use a serrated knife to cut the cake horizontally into 3 equal layers. Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks, then chop the banana into small pieces and fold into the cream, along with the marshmallows. On the first layer, spread a generous covering of the dulche de leche, followed by half of the cream mixture. Sandwich the second layer on top and repeat. Thickly spread dulche de leche over the top of the cake, then arrange extra marshmallows around the edge.

  This looks absolutely delicious!! Will definately make this when I can decide to end my healthy eating phase. Does anybody know where to get Dulce de leche from? Because I can't seem to find it anywhere.

  Tomm - Apparently you can make your own Dulche de leche by covering a tin of condensed milk with boiling water and boiling it for one and a half hours - keeping the water topped up!!! Hope this helps.

  Tomm Try looking in M&S as they sell a sauce that is very similar to Dulche de leche.

  Carnation now make Carnation Caramel - most supermarkets stock it. Saves you the trouble of boiling the can. http://www.nestle.co.uk/ourbrands/productrange/creamsanddesserts/carnation/

  I can get neither dulce de leche or condensed milk. Is there any other way of making this from scratch or any suitable alternative

  Hi Laney... yes you can make dulce de leche from scratch... You take about 1l of milk with half a kilo of sugar and make it boil until it dry onto dulce de leche... It take's time, but you can do it... A tip for you.... When sugar were completely melted, put a small plate into the pan... i know that it sounds strange but it'll keep milk from felt out of the pan. Take the plate off when you realize that the milk is getting thick. I hope you understand ether the recipe and my english!! Any doubt please let me know!

  This cake was easy to make, although mine was like a muffin texture and rose a lot in the middle. I couldnt cut it into 3 layers as it didnt rise enough so just did 2. The dulce de leche was hard to find, I used the Carnation Condensed Milk Caramel and some toffee sauce. The cake was tasty in small portions.

  Simple to make, and I also used the Carnation Caramel. I found the cream section made it slightly sickly, so definitely small portions! The sponge is really great- I have been looking for a great banana sponge recipe so I'm delighted to have found this!

  I loved the look of the recipe and did it to impress the in laws on the weekend. I used toffee fudge sauce from Sainsburys which worked just as well. Only one problem which I think is me, I can never get any cake to rise. The banana cake was nice but quite stodgy. My cooking is fine but when it comes to baking I am doing something very wrong - any ideas???

  You can find Dulche de Leche in Sainsburys but I made this cake today and it was my first total baking disaster. The whole thing fell apart. My husband described it more as a trifle than a cake. Tasty but very messy

  Wretched thing didn't rise so was unable fill it. However, I put Caramel (the Banoffe caramel made by...begins with a C...Carnation??) on the top, then topped it with the cream, marshmallows and bananas. was disapointed it didn't rise much but tasty (and SO rich) nevertheless!
