You’ll need a 23cm square baking dish for this recipe.

60g unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus extra, to grease
1/3 cup (80g) brown sugar, plus 3/4 cup (170g) extra
1 1/2 cups (225g) plain flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp cornflour

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease a 23cm square baking dish with extra butter.
2.

Place sugar, flour and baking powder in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Make a well in the centre. Add milk, butter, eggs, banana and malt extract and whisk to combine. Pour into prepared dish. Sprinkle over the extra 3/4 cup brown sugar, sift over the cornflour, and drizzle over the extra malt extract. Pour over 2 cups (500ml) boiling water.
3.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the cake layer comes out clean.
