Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 80 g butter, softened
• 3 egg whites
• 1/2 cup icing sugar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2 bananas
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup ground almonds
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 90 g unsalted butter (or regular if you don't have any)
• 3/4 cup cream
• 2 drops rum extract

Recipe

• 1 grease a square or rectangular baking tin with butter and sprinkle with a little caster sugar.
• 2 in a separate bowl, beat the butter, egg whites, icing sugar and brown sugar until very thoroughly combined and smooth.
• 3 mash the banana until it's pureed, and you can't see any lumps (this may take a while but it makes a huge difference to the pudding). add the pureed banana and milk and mix well.
• 4 in another bowl, sift all of the dry ingredients together and combine with a whisk and then mix with the wet mixture, taking care not to over-mix.
• 5 pour the mixture into the dish and fan-bake at 200 celsius for 25 minutes.
• 6 meanwhile make the sauce:.
• 7 put all of the ingredients except for the rum essence into a pot and gently heat until combined and then leave to boil for 5-10 minutes (until it's very syrupy). note: when you take it off the element and begin to cool it it will thicken a little more, but it's supposed to be really runny.
• 8 serve with vanilla ice cream.
