Banana and Toffee sticky cake!

Readers

I have finally gone back to Harry's book and, after many delicious detours,  have decided to make this little beauty. The banana and toffee sticky cake- I just couldn't resist! Bananas are one of my favourite fruits, I mean, of course excluding blueberries, strawberries, passion fruits, mangos, kiwis, oranges...okay so I like a lot of fruits, but bananas are pretty special don't you think? Just like chameleons they blend into their surroundings, into smoothies and milkshakes, cakes and breads, even as a raw material they're yum. And they don't overpower a thing. Genius.

After a good 10 minutes whisking of the eggs and the sugar (I know she says whisk for 5- but the fluffier the better i think!) and a fierce hacking at the butternut squash (bravely done by my ma) we ended up with a light-cappuccino-coloured-with-orange-speckles mixture ready for the oven. I substituted the brazil nuts for hazelnuts as I didn't have anything else- I'm just hoping for the best here- but i'm sure it doesn't reaaaaally matter what you use, you know; dare to be different and all!

I will admit- not one of my favourites, plus because of my braces I couldn't even eat the darn toffee glaze! Oh well, I think Dad liked it at least:P

But i suppose there'll always be unsuccessful attempts right?

Much love
