Cooking TIme
1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 150 g Kerrygold butter
- 3 slightly overripe bananas, plus one extra for decorating
- 200 g brown sugar
- 2 free-range eggs
- 240 g cake flour
- 2 t baking powder
- 1/4 t salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then simmer until the butter begins to turn golden brown. Once the butter starts to foam, remove from the heat. Allow to cool completely before using.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the bananas until smooth. Don’t worry if it’s a bit lumpy. Add the sugar, butter and eggs and whisk or fold to combine.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet using the hand mixer on the lowest setting or a spatula to fold the ingredients together.
- Pour the batter into a greased and lined 23 x 13 cm loaf tin. Peel the extra banana, cut in half lengthways then place on top of the batter.
- Bake for 55–70 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Serve sliced with a smear of Kerrygold butter, a dusting of cinnamon sugar and brulée using a blowtorch.
