Ingredients
250g self-raising flour
55g plain flour
140g brown sugar
2 overripe medium bananas, mashed
2 eggs, lightly whisked
130ml milk of choice
1 tbsp vanilla paste 50g butter, melted
100g Australia’s Violet Crumble Cubes, roughly chopped (plus extra for garnish)
Cream Cheese Frosting
120g cream cheese, softened
60g butter, softened
1 tbsp vanilla paste
220g icing sugar
Method
• Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced.
• Lightly grease and line a cake tin (approximately 20cm) with baking paper.
• Sift the combined flours into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre.
• Add the mashed bananas, eggs, milk, vanilla paste, melted butter, and stir until well combined.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry flour mixture and stir until just combined.
• Add the roughly chopped Violet Crumble Cubes and stir to combine.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
• Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and set aside to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Turn cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla paste in a bowl until thick and pale. Gradually add the icing sugar, until well combined. • Frost with the cream cheese mixture, then cut into slices and serve.
