Indulge in banana cake topped with ice cream and caramel sauce.

Ingredients:

100ml buttermilk, extra
150.00 gm self-raising flour
40.00 ml plain flour
1.25 gm bicarbonate of soda
1.25 gm ground nutmeg
125g pitted dates, chopped
180.00 gm brown sugar
2 eggs
260.00 gm buttermilk
195.00 gm mashed banana (see note)
250.00 gm water
2.50 gm cornflour
2.20 gm vanilla extract
6 small scoops Vanilla ice-cream, to serve

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 180°C and lightly grease a 6-cup Texas muffin pan.
In a bowl, gently sift together the flours, bicarbonate of soda, and nutmeg. Add the dates and 1/3 cup of sugar, then mix thoroughly until combined.
In a jug, vigorously whisk together eggs and 1 cup buttermilk until fully combined. Incorporate the banana into the mixture thoroughly. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Fill muffin holes three-quarters full with the mixture. Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack as you prepare the sauce.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 2/3 cup sugar and water. Stir and cook until sugar dissolves, about 2 to 3 minutes. Bring to a boil and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. In a jug, mix cornflour and 1/4 cup buttermilk to a smooth paste. Add the paste to the sauce along with the remaining buttermilk and vanilla. Return to low heat, stir, and cook until the sauce comes to a gentle boil, about 5 minutes.
Place the warm cakes on individual serving plates, top each with a scoop of ice cream, then drizzle with sauce. Serve immediately for a delightful treat.
