Ingredients

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1 overripe banana, mashed
1 large egg
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons bourbon
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°. 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 2

In a bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt; whisk into the baking dish until combined (the batter will be pretty loose).

Step 3

In 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 4

Set 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.

Review Body: This recipe was a hit! Highly recommend, especially if you don't mind a recipe that looks a little messy or undone. I served it at Thanksgiving and it was well received. I doubled it and it worked well. As I was making it, I was nervous that it was too liquidy and worried the syrupy base would be too much. It turned out great in spite of my reservations.

Review Body: I wish you had put the nutritional value with this recipe. I'm diabetic and without that info I cannot make this recipe. :(

Review Body: I served this for a bourbon tasting party this past weekend. The dish I used might have been a little to large, as the pudding cake was a little thin. I'd prefer to be a little thicker. It was so easy to put it all together and so delicious. I followed the recipe as is, with the exception of using superfine sugar. I just didn't have time to blitz the sugar through the blender/food processor. I didn't see a difference in texture for the cake. This recipe is an easy one for company or for the holidays. Serving it with great quality vanilla ice cream pairs so well together! This one is a keeper.

Review Body: This was a HUGE hit! I didn't have a flat dish and made it in a round casserole - next time would find something else to use. We ate it with brunch without ice cream.

Review Body: Can this be made 1) with a cake mix and 2) in individual sizes?
