Description
This Banana Caramel Sponge Flan is light, fluffy, and honestly way easier than it looks. It’s one of those old-school bakes that still feels a little fancy once it’s filled and dressed up.
Ingredients
Sponge Base
- 3 extra-large eggs (jumbo works great)
- 1 cup castor sugar (250 ml)
- 1 1/4 cups self-raising flour (300 ml), sifted
- 3 tbsp water (45 ml)
Filling Option Used
- 3 medium bananas, sliced
- 1/2 cup caramel treat, spoonable
- 1 cup fresh cream (250 ml), whipped to soft peaks
- Chocolate ganache, for drizzling
- Maraschino cherries, for decorating
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 180°C and grease a flan pan really well.
- Dust it lightly with flour and tap out the excess so nothing sticks later.
- In a mixing bowl, cream 3 extra-large eggs with 1 cup caster sugar (250 ml) until the mixture looks pale, slightly thick, and glossy.
- Add 1¼ cups self-raising flour (300 ml), already sifted, and gently fold it in so you don’t knock out all the air.
- Pour in 3 tbsp water (45 ml) and mix just until the batter is smooth and pourable. Don’t overmix or the sponge can turn dense.
- Pour the batter into the prepared flan pan and gently level the top.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden and springy when touched.
- Let the sponge cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely before filling.
- Once cool, layer sliced bananas over the sponge base, spoon 1/2 cup caramel treat over the bananas, then top with 1 cup whipped fresh cream (250 ml).
- Drizzle chocolate ganache over the cream and use a toothpick to swirl a simple design. Finish with maraschino cherries on top.
Filling Variations
- Sweetened whipped cream with any canned fruit you love
- Thick custard, canned fruit, and fresh cream
- Caramel treat with cream and sliced bananas, always a winner
