Butterscotch Banana Bread
Converted from a recipe by Jane Hornby.
3 medium very ripe Bananas about 300g peeled and cut into chunks
120g unsalted soft butter
120g light brown muscovado sugar
1/2 tsp flakey sea salt
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
100g plain flour
120g wholemeal flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
50g chopped walnuts
Topping
100g cream cheese
55g light brown musovado sugar
55g unsalted butter
1 tablsp water( 15ml)
1. Put all the ingredients( except the walnuts and topping ingredients) in the TM bowl and mix 30sec./ speed 5
2. Add the chopped walnuts and mix 1 minute/ speed 2/ reverse direction.
3. Pour into a lined loaf pan( I always use silicone baking liners)
4. Bake for 1 hour 10 mins 160c( fan oven 140c) or until cooked.
Leave the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes then turnout onto a wire rack to cool.
Clean and dry the TM bowl.
Topping.
1. Put the butter, sugar and water into the TM bowl.Heat 3 mis/ varoma/ speed 3 MC off.Scrape down the bowl and leave the syrup to cool.
2. Add the cream cheese and mix 20 sec/ speed3.
If you think it looks runny( as my first lot did) just scrape it into a bowl and it will start to thicken up as time progresses.
3.Spread the topping over the cooled cake and decorate with extra walnuts.
Serves 8 slices.

KarenH - it was to die for! When making the icing, I let the caramel mix cool completely in the TMX bowl and it went quite icky-sticky and I was worried that the cream cheese wouldn't blend in. I put in the cream cheese straight from the fridge, it blended fine but left tiny little lumps of cheese in it so I just let it come to room temp for 20-30 mins and then it blended in beautiful and smooth.
GORGEOUS!

Cc that looks wonderful. I love the liner you have. I saw them when I was in the UK last year. Haven't found them here. Banana's are around $13 a kilo here at the moment so haven't had any for a while, as soon as they are affordable will give this recipe a go.

Nice photo CC, that icing looks great too.

Oops! unfortunate timing posting this recipe with bananas at $13 a kilo :o :o It's a lovely moist cake and just as good without the topping,possibly spread with butter. ;) ;)

CC this looks wonderful. Not only does it say banana but butterscotch as well. I still have rather a lot of bananas in the freezer so I will make it.
