Step by step

Method

Start by making the caramelised bananas. Slice the bananas into thick pieces.

Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat, then add the sliced bananas, brown sugar and cinnamon.

Cook the bananas gently until golden, caramelised and coated in the buttery cinnamon sugar mixture. Remove from the heat and allow them to cool slightly.

Add the cream cheese and double cream to a large mixing bowl.

Add the light brown sugar and eggs, Beat together using an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.

Add the cooled caramelised bananas to the cheesecake mixture and mix until evenly distributed.

Pour half the cheesecake mixture into a prepared 8-inch cake tin and sprinkle cinnamon sugar.

Add the remaining mixture to the cake tin and bake until the cheesecake is set around the edges with a slight wobble remaining in the centre.

Allow the cheesecake to cool completely, then chill until firm before removing it from the tin.

Use the chilled cheesecake as the centre layer of the Banana Cheesecake Cake, or serve it on its own.

Cook's tip ♡

Let the caramelised bananas cool slightly before adding them to the cheesecake mixture. Adding them while very hot can affect the texture of the cheesecake. For the cleanest cake assembly, chill the cheesecake thoroughly before layering it between the banana cakes.
