Banana and date loaf with caramel glaze

By Abigail Donnelly
Makes 1 cake
Easy
20 minutes
1 hour

Ingredients

  • 125 g butter
  • 175 g brown sugar
  • 3 free-range eggs
  • 4 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 140 g barley flour
  • 140 g cake flour
  • 1 T baking powder
  • 1 t bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 t salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 100 g dates, diced
  • 200 g Caramel Treat

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Grease a medium-sized cake mould or loaf tin. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and pale. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Add the mashed bananas and mix well.

Sift together the barley and cake flours, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt, then fold into the buttery egg mixture. Add the milk and date and mix through.

Pour into the prepared mould and bake for one hour, or until a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin before unmoulding.
When absolutely cool, top with the caramel.
