Method

  1. Soak the sultanas in the rum for 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Line the base of a 23cm x 13cm loaf tin with baking paper. Cut 2 of the bananas into sections that fit the width of the tin, then halve lengthways. Pour the golden syrup along the base of the tin and cover with the banana pieces, cut-side down, fitting them in to make a neat, even layer.
  2. Whizz the butter and sugar in a food processor, add the eggs, remaining bananas and vanilla extract and whizz again. Tip into a bowl and fold in the flour, pecans and sultanas. Spoon onto the bananas, being careful not to move them, level the top and bake for 45 minutes or until cooked through (test with a skewer, but don't push it in all the way or you'll hit the banana). Leave for 10 minutes so the syrup soaks into the cake, then turn out onto a plate and serve with crème fraîche or cream.

    The cake turned out hard and lumpy. I think there is way too much flour and overdose of raisins.

    Absolutely delicious, when I make it again will probably add some Cinamon for extra spice.

    Made this for after Sunday roast at my Moms. It went down a treat. I received such praise! I did not have rum to soak the raisins in so I soaked them in Malibu. You could really taste it in the cake. I will make this again.

    What exactly is golden syrup? I am not sure I can buy this in my country. Any replacements or can I make my own?

    Delicious, didn't have enough golden syrup so did half syrup half honey. I used dates instead of sultana. Great with ice cream!

    Had this after sunday lunch, was very good, and would have been better if the syrup had not leaked out of my loaf tin...will have to use a different tin next time!! I will make this again, great t use up ripe bananas.

    Made this last night and it turned out great, light and moist.We ate it whilst still warm with icecream. I didnt have any rum so I used Malibu! I added a teaspoon of cinneman to give it a bit more flavour. I only used three large bananas which seemed to be enough. Will definately make again.

    Just made this, was absolutely divine. I have a fan oven and it took 1hr 10mins to cook, but the end result was gorgeous. Will definately make it again, very moist.
