Method
PUDDING
- Pre-heat your oven to 160°C.
- Line a round cake tin with greaseproof paper.
- Soak the dates in the rum and set aside for half an hour.
- Using a food mixer with the whisk attachments, cream the butter and the sugar.
- Add the eggs and 4 bananas and mix well until all is combined.
- Fold in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and the soaked dates.
- Pour into the lined tin and bake for 45 mins - 1 hour.
- Check with a skewer and if it comes out clean it is done.
TOFFEE SAUCE
- In a large pot melt the butter on a low heat and add the sugar, golden syrup, butter and vanilla.
- Stir until the sugar has melted.
- In a separate pot heat the cream then add the cream to the sugar mix. Stir well to combine.
- Bring to the boil and lower the heat and simmer for 10 mins. Be very careful when making the sauce - it can boil over very easily and is extremely hot.
TO SERVE
- Slice the remaining banana diagonally and place on a baking tray.
- Sprinkle with the caster sugar and burn with a blow torch.
- Portion the pudding and place in a bowl, pour over the warm sauce and serve with ice-cream and the caramelised banana
