Ingredients:

3 bananas

360g

1/4 cup butter

54g

1/2 cup brown sugar

120g

2 eggs

100g

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup self-raising flour

150g

1/2 cup milk (1% fat)

120g

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

120g

1 cup sour cream

230g

1 tbsp powdered sugar

16g

1/3 cup hazelnuts

40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Mash the bananas in a bowl and set aside.

2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.

3. Add the Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the baking soda and self-raising flour.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

6. Add Bananas: Fold in the mashed bananas until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the sour cream until well combined.

9. Assemble the Cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the whipped cream and sour cream mixture evenly over the top.

10. Add Hazelnuts: Sprinkle the chopped and toasted hazelnuts over the whipped cream topping.

11. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the Banoffee Dessert Cake and serve. Enjoy the rich, fruity, and nutty flavors of this delightful dessert!

Tips:

- Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness in your cake.

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar for easier mixing.

- Toasting the hazelnuts before adding them to the cake will enhance their flavor and add a delightful crunch.

- Whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks for the perfect creamy texture.

- Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow it to set properly and enhance the flavors.

Serve your Banoffee Dessert Cake chilled, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. This delightful dessert is sure to impress your guests and leave them wanting more. Enjoy a slice with a hot cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate experience.
