It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. Each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog. All you have to do is choose a recipe, make it and blog about it on the specified date. The only rule is to keep it a secret! If you are interested in learning more, or want to join the club, please visit the Secret recipe club website.
This month I have been re-assigned my friend Rhonda’s blog: The Kitchen Witch! I was a bit surprised, as it was the first time I got the same blog in the club, so I double checked with Debbie, our group’s host, to make sure I could go ahead and choose something that Rhonda made. I was very happy to get Debbie’s ok, as I LOVE Rhonda’s recipes! Having already made 2 of her savoury dishes (Sweet Chilli and Orange Chicken Wings and Garam Masala and Preserved Lemon Hummus), I knew I wanted to try something sweet this time and I just could not get past this beautiful Banana Cake with Maple Butterscotch Sauce. I must admit this was not good, it was extraordinary. So much so, that I made it twice in 1 week! The first time, I had to give some away to my husband to take to work (or I would have finished it all by myself!) and the second time I took it to a friend’s get together. I am happy to report that in both the occasions, all that was left were crumbs… oh no, wait… not even those! That’s how good this cake is. It is very soft and moist and who doesn’t love the combination of banana and cinnamon? Even my eldest daughter, who does not like bananas, had seconds! The sauce is sinful and I think it goes amazingly well with the cake. I love butterscotch and I loved how maple syrup gave this sauce its very particular flavour. A delicious “must-try”! Enjoy everyone!
Thank you Rhonda for sharing yet another amazing recipe!
