Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 2 ¼ (280g) cake flour*
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 ¼ cups (250g) light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (90ml) vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup (180g) Greek-style yogurt
  • 6 - 7 large bananas 3 mashed, and 3 - 4 sliced for topping

For the Glaze

  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter cubed
  • ½ cup (175g) golden syrup OR light corn syrup

Instructions

For the Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4, and grease a 13x9-inch pan. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the eggs. Add the sugar, and whisk until combined. Add the vanilla, oil, yogurt, and mashed banana, and whisk until combined. Fold in the dry ingredients.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread out evenly. Place the banana slices evenly on top, and bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Set the pan aside onto a wire rack.

For the Glaze

  • Add the butter and syrup into a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until the butter has melted and the mixture is boiling hot.
  • Pour the glaze over the top of the hot cake and tilt the pan back and forth to cover the surface in an even layer. Leave the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
