Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup superfine sugar
- 1 overripe banana
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp. baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. bourbon
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
- vanilla ice cream
Directions
- Step 1Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a deep, 2-quart baking or soufflé dish, melt the butter in the microwave. Whisk in the superfine sugar and banana, mashing until thoroughly combined. Whisk in the egg and milk.
- Step 2In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt; whisk into the baking dish until combined (the batter will be pretty loose).
- Step 3In a microwave-safe cup, heat the maple syrup, light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of hot water at high power until hot, 1 minute. Add the bourbon. Drizzle the syrup mixture over the batter; it will seep to the bottom. Do not stir. Scatter the pecans on top.
- Step 4Set the dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, until the cake is golden. Let cool for 5 minutes, then scoop into bowls, and serve with ice cream.
