Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
30g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g
2 bananas
240g
1/2 cup self-raising flour
72g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1/2 cup cream cheese
120g
1/2 cup powdered sugar
80g
1/3 cup passion fruit
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) round cake tin with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the sour cream and mashed bananas until thoroughly combined.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, ground cinnamon, and baking soda. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet banana mixture until just combined.
4. Add Raspberries:
Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to overmix as they might break apart.
5. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
6. Cool the Cake:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Prepare the Passionfruit Icing:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to beat until well incorporated and smooth.
- Mix in the passion fruit pulp until the icing is evenly combined.
8. Ice the Cake:
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the passionfruit icing evenly over the top. Use a spatula to create swirls for a decorative finish, if desired.
9. Serve:
Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy the delicious combination of banana, raspberry, and passionfruit flavors!

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas: Ripe bananas will provide a natural sweetness and a smoother texture for the cake.

- Room temperature ingredients: Allowing the butter, eggs, and sour cream to come to room temperature before mixing will help them blend more smoothly and evenly.

- Don't overmix the batter: Mix the dry and wet ingredients until just combined to avoid a dense cake. Overmixing can result in a tough texture.

- Test for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is done. If it comes out wet, bake for a few more minutes and test again.

- Cool completely before icing: Ensure the cake is completely cooled before applying the passionfruit icing to prevent it from melting and sliding off.

- Fresh passionfruit: For the best flavor, use fresh passionfruit juice and pulp for the icing.

Your Banana & Raspberry Cake with Passionfruit Icing is now ready to be enjoyed. The soft and moist texture of the cake, combined with the vibrant flavors of banana, raspberry, and passionfruit, make this dessert a memorable one. It's perfect for celebrations or as a special treat to brighten up your day.
