THE BEST BANANA CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan (see Cook's Note) with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two longer sides. Lightly spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• For the cake, mash the bananas in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher until very smooth. Whisk in the dark brown sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla until smooth and combined. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
• Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture in thirds until just combined. Pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Leave the cake in the pan to cool slightly, about 30 minutes. Use the foil overhang to remove the cake from the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, beat the butter, cream cheese and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Reduce to low speed, then add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until smooth. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract.
• Transfer 1/2 cup of the frosting to a small bowl and stir in the dulce de leche until smooth. Cover both frostings with plastic wrap and keep at room temperature until ready to assemble the cake.
• For the candied banana chips, warm the maple syrup in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until it just starts bubbling. Add the banana chips and cook, tossing and stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until the chips have absorbed almost all the maple syrup and are browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately transfer the banana chips to a baking sheet, spread in an even layer and cool completely. Once cool, roughly chop.
• Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Spread about 3/4 cup plain cream cheese frosting all over the top of the cake.
• Dollop the dulce de leche frosting and remaining plain frosting on top, then use a small offset spatula to swirl both frostings together in a swooping design, making sure the frosting goes all the way to the edges of the cake. Top with the chopped candied banana chips.

• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.

THE MOST FABULOUS BANANA CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C Butter and flour a 26cm deep ring tin.
• ut the flour, baking powder,salt, and bicarb in a food processor and whiz them to combine. Tip the mixture out into a bowl.
• Mash the bananas an measure out 1 cup of banana pulp. Scrape this into the food processor and puree it until smooth. Add the sugar and eggs, and whizz everything together for a minute. Add the butter and whizz it for a minute more, until the mixture is thick and creamy. Now, add the buttermilk and vanilla, and pulse the processor with quick on/off bursts just to mix them inches Finally, add the flour mixture and again mix it in quick bursts, scraping down the sides once or twice, so it's only just combined.
• Scoop the batter evenly into the tin and smooth it out evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a fine skewer comes out clean. (Don't be surprised if the cake doesn't rise a lot; it's rather dense.
• When it's ready, leave the cake to cool in the tin on a rack for about 7 minutes. Then, gently loosen it around the edges and invert it onto a rack to cool.
• While the cake is cooling, make the icing. In a food processor, whiz together the cream cheese and butter so they're well mixed. Add the icing sugar and vanilla and process until smooth.
• When the cake is cool, put it onto a serving plate. Split it into two layers by carefully cutting around the circumference with a long, serrated knife. Spread some icing on the bottom layer, then sandwich the two halves back together again. Spread a thick layer of icing all over the cake and smooth it as best you can with a long palette knife.
• Serve the cake right away or refrigerate it. It keeps well for up to 5 days. Either leave the top plain or decorate with toasted pecans.
