Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper. In a large bowl, beat all the cake ingredients together including the vanilla extract and 2 mashed, ripe bananas, until you have a smooth, soft batter.
  2. Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon, then bake for about 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when pressed. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
  3. For the filling, whip the double cream and fold through the Banoffee toffee. To serve, spread half of the cream over one of the cakes, then top with another sliced banana.
  4. Sandwich together, then cover with more cream then decorate the cake with an elegant drizzle of Banoffee toffee. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.

    This cake is fast becoming my signature cake! Everyone always asks me to make this! I've made the bigger version and agree that the cooking time is longer and the cake doesn't rise very much! I have to say that my smaller versions (I use the same mix but cook it in mini sandwich tins so they look like mini cakes) is the best! I use 3 large eggs instead of the 4 eggs stated, add an extra banana for extra flavour! I slice the cake in half and put a layer of banana and dulce de leche and ontop pipe some of the cream and dulce mixture! Yum! A fab cake!

    My version turned out more 'ban' than 'offee'! the sauce as mentioned by Polly was too thin for this version. Oh well, my cake my mistake! It was the tastiest 'banana' cake my family had ever tasted! Just to add, I am on an exclusion diet, so that means no gluten or wheat! I make normal recipes but with doves farm gluten and wheat free flower and baking powder/soda so all you coeliacs out there can eat something tasty as well as Gluten and wheat free!!

    A-MAZING cake. So light and fluffy and really yummy. I find with all the BBC cake recipes with icing or filling it makes way too much. I didnt put it on the top but the filling in the middle was scrummy. Seriously good cake.

    This is such an easy recipe but its just delicious. Needs a bit more cooking though than the recipe says. And I used half cream and half creme fraiche, which gave it a bit more of a tarte flavour.

    Although delicious, this cake was a little tricky in the making. Despite my better judgement (I am a traditionalist when it comes to adding air into the batter!) I followed the instructions with the resultant dense pancake that came out of the oven not only sticking to the grease proof paper but leaving greasy pools of separated butter oozing out. This is one stodgy thing! Went down a storm though and definitely served more than 10 people.

    I'm usually pretty adept at baking but this was awful, I can only assume I did something wrong! It was incredibly dense and had an almost soggy texture. It didn't taste particularly banana-ry either, considering the amount that went into it.
