Banana coffee cake is a type of dessert that was first created in a pub in England. It consists of a pastry pie shell filled with condensed milk caramel and bananas and topped with whipped cream mixed with coffee and sugar. The original recipe for the dish calls for everything to be made from scratch, though very quickly assembled versions developed as more premade ingredients became available. One of the most unique aspects of the dish is the way the candy is made, as it involves cooking an unopened can of condensed milk. The name of the cake, banoffee, is a word that was created by combining the words “banana” and “toffee”, the two main ingredients.
The most time-consuming step when making coffee cake is creating the coffee. The candy is just caramelized sugar and cream. The recipe creates candy by taking unopened cans of condensed milk and immersing them completely in boiling water for at least three hours. The heat causes the sugars inside the can to caramelize. There is a risk that the cans could explode if the water level drops too low, so a safer way is to boil the cans for a moment and then transfer the pan to an oven for three hours or more.
The original banoffee pie recipe uses a flour, butter, and egg pie crust. The ingredients are mixed together to form a firm dough which is rolled out until thin. This is placed in a pie pan, weighted down and cooked blind until the crust has set and lightly browned.
Once the toffee and crust are done, the banoffee pie can be assembled. The cooled candy is poured into the pie crust to form the bottom layer. The bananas are cut in the middle and placed on top of the candy so as to cover it as much as possible. The cream is then whipped and combined with some coffee and sugar. The whipped cream is placed on top of the cake in a generous layer, completing the dessert.
Banana coffee cake can actually be made very quickly using mostly premade ingredients. The candy is often sold in grocery stores — especially Spanish stores — under the name dulce de leche. Premade whipped cream or dessert toppings can also be used, as well as frozen pie crusts or graham cracker crust. The finished banana coffee cake might taste a little different when made this way, but it can be put together fairly quickly and doesn’t need to be baked.
