Difficulty and servings
Serves 8
Preparation and cooking times
1 ½ hours + cooling
- Heat oven to 160C/ fan 140C/gas 3. Butter and line a 900g loaf tin with a strip of baking parchment that hangs over the short ends.
- To make the caramel, tip the sugar into a frying pan, shaking it to an even layer. Heat gently until it melts, tipping the pan to make sure the edges don't burn. Once melted to a golden caramel, pour it onto a baking sheet set on something that won't burn or melt. Leave to cool, then smash into small pieces.
- Beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Add the bananas and beat in with the eggs, flour, almonds, baking powder and yoghurt until smooth. Stir in 1/3 of the caramel and spoon into the tin. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the cake is golden and a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin, then lift out by the parchment ends.
- Make the frosting by beating the butter and sugar. Choose a few pieces of caramel for decoration and crush the rest finely. Stir the crushed caramel into the frosting, ice the cake and decorate with caramel chips.
