Method

  • step 1

    Boil the kettle and heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 . Grease a rectangular baking dish with butter (ours was 20cm x 28cm and 4cm deep). Tip the flour, baking powder, 140g sugar, most of the pecans (save a handful) and 1/ 2 tsp salt into a bowl. Mash one banana in another bowl, add the butter, milk, eggs and bourbon and whisk together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well. Scrape into the baking dish and level the surface.

  • step 2

    Slice the remaining bananas lengthways and place on top of the pudding batter, cut -side up. Scatter over the remaining pecans. Mix the remaining 160g sugar with the golden syrup , add 300ml boiling water and stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour the hot liquid over the pudding, then put on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 1 hr until the top is set and the sauce is starting to bubble around the edges. Serve with ice cream or custard, or both.

Really not good, it didn’t taste like much at all and wasn’t self saucing. I think with brown butter and a bit of vanilla it would be ok at best..

question

Can I make this ahead , leave in fridge, and then pour the boiling water over just before cooking?

Hi, because the batter contains self-raising flour it needs to be cooked as soon as it's made. You could however weigh and mix all the dry ingredients in advance so there's less to do on the day. Or you could try our 'Upside-down banana cake with maple-caramel sauce'…

What can you use instead of alcohol in this recipe please?

Hi, thanks for your question. You can just replace it with an extra 2 tbsp milk. You can also add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for flavour if you like. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

Hi, what can I use in place of the pecans? My son is allergic to nuts. Thank you

Hi, thanks for your question. You can just leave them out or add some chopped chocolate or some seeds (if seeds are safe for his allergy). We hope this helps, BBC Good Food Team.
