What you need

  • 125g Anchor Original butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 200g Anchor Protein+ Plain Yoghurt
  • 200g self raising flour, sifted
  • 1 tsp baking soda

Butterscotch syrup

  • 2/3 cup Anchor Cream
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 50g Anchor Original butter, cubed

To serve

  • Tip Top Vanilla Ice Cream
  • 1/2 cup pecan nuts, chopped

Here's how it's done

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease and line a 22cm springform tin.
  2. Beat butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at time beating well after each addition. 
  3. Fold in the mashed bananas and yoghurt, then sifted flour and baking soda until just combined.
  4. Spoon mixture into prepared tin and bake for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Stand for 5-10 minutes then remove cake from the tin and place it on a wire rack while you make the syrup.
  5. To make the butterscotch syrup place the cream, sugar and butter in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat for 5 minutes or until well combined. Boil another 5 minutes at a low heat until thickened slightly.
  6. Insert skewer a few times then pour the hot syrup over the warm cake. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and pecan nuts.

Serving Suggestion
