Full Recipe:
Ingredients:
For the cake:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
* 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the pudding:
* 2 cups (475ml) half-and-half
* 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup (60g) confectioners' sugar
* 4 large egg yolks
For the caramel topping (optional):
* 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
* 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
* 1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish and set it aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
4. Beat in the mashed bananas and eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
9. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the pudding:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine half-and-half, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in confectioners' sugar and egg yolks until smooth.
4. Strain the pudding through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any egg solids.
Assembly:
1. Cut the cooled cake into 1-inch (2.5cm) cubes.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cake cubes and pudding. Toss until the cake is well coated.
Caramel Topping (optional):
1. In a small saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and heavy cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the caramel turns a deep amber color.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the caramel cool slightly.
Cook Time: 35-40 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 55-60 minutes
Variations:
* Nutty Version: Add 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for added texture and flavor.
* Cinnamon Swirl: Mix 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon into the batter and swirl in 1/4 cup (30g) melted butter and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar before baking.
* Chocolate Chip: Fold in 1 cup (120g) semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter for a chocolatey twist.
