Banoffee Milk Cake
Equipment
- 35 x 25 x 10 cm sheet cake pan
Ingredients
Batter
- 10 eggs separated
- 300 g castor sugar
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla essence
- 250 g all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
Milk Soak
- 390 g (tin) sweetened condensed milk
- 340 g full cream evaporated milk
- 300 ml full cream milk
Topping
- 500 ml whipping cream
- 3 bananas (medium) halved
- ⅓ c (80) ml dulce leche / caramel sauce for drizzling
- 3 Tbsp (45 ml) castor sugar for caramelising with blow torch
- toasted flaked almonds optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C.
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg yolks, castor sugar and vanilla together until light and creamy. Remove and set aside.
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Sieve the flour and baking powder into the creamy yolk mixture and gently combine together with the egg whites until smooth. Do not overmix.
- Spread into the lightly greased cake pan.
- Bake for 20 – 25 minutes. Use a skewer to test if middle comes out clean when pricked. Allow to cool to room temperature ( +- 45 minutes).
- Prick lots of tiny holes in the sheet cake.
- Mix the 3 milks together and pour over the cake.
- Allow liquid to soak into the cake. Best refrigerated for at least 2 hours. 8 hours would be even better.
- When ready to serve, caramelise the cut side of the banana halves with a good layer of castor sugar and a blow torch.
- Whip the cream until a little firmer than soft peaks.
- Spread the cream generously onto your chilled milk cake.
- Drizzle with cold dulce leche/caramel sauce
- Top with bruleed bananas.
- Sprinkle with optional toasted almonds.

Feel free to change the flavour profile of your milk cake.
It can be as simple as topping it with fresh cream and strawberries.
