Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
30g
1 cup brown sugar
230g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
2 bananas
240g
1/2 cup buttermilk
120g
1/2 cup cream cheese
120g
1 cup powdered sugar
160g
2 tbsp passion fruit
30g

Instructions:

2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the 2 tbsp softened butter and 1 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add in the 2 eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the 1 tsp vanilla extract until combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1 cup self-raising flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp baking soda until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the 1/2 cup buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
6. Add Bananas: Gently fold in the 2 mashed bananas until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Bake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Let the banana cakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Add Passionfruit: Gently fold in the 2 tbsp passion fruit pulp until evenly incorporated.
2. Serve and Enjoy: Optionally, garnish with extra passionfruit pulp or fresh banana slices. Enjoy your delicious banana cakes with passionfruit cream-cheese icing!

Tips:

- Make sure your bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.

- Soften the butter and cream cheese at room temperature before using them to ensure a smooth mixture.

- Sift the powdered sugar before mixing it with the cream cheese to avoid any lumps in the icing.

- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients to avoid overmixing, which can make the cake dense.

- Allow the cakes to cool completely before icing to prevent the cream cheese icing from melting.

With their moist, flavorful crumb and luscious passionfruit cream-cheese icing, these banana cakes are bound to be a hit. Follow these tips, and you'll have a perfect dessert that combines tropical flavors and creamy textures. Enjoy your baking journey and savor the delicious results!
