Ingredients

• 200g butter, softened
• 1/3 cup caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 extra large egg
• 3/4 cup plain flour
• 2 teaspoon self-raising flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup milk
• 395g canned sweetened condensed milk
• 90g butter, chopped, softened
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 2 tablespoon golden syrup
• 2 medium bananas, thinly sliced
• 300ml whipping cream

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180C (160C fan forced). Grease 16cm x 26cm slice pan, line base and sides with baking paper, allowing for overhang.

2. Beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3-5 minutes or until pale and creamy. Add egg and continue beating for a minute. Fold in both flours, with cocoa and milk.

3. Spoon batter into prepared pan and spread evenly over the base. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Set aside.

4. Combine condensed milk, butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat stirring constantly for 10-12 minutes or until rich caramel in colour. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Pour filling over base. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

5. Place banana slices over caramel in a single layer, top with whipped cream followed by grated chocolate. Slice and serve immediately.
