Heat the oven to 180C with fan. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, almond slices/chopped pecans and a pinch of salt.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, milk, butter, egg, cinnamon, vanilla, whiskey, nutmeg and sea salt until well combined. Gradually whisk the liquid and the flour mix together to make a batter.

Butter a 7 cm deep baking dish and pour in the batter. Set aside. Clearly i should have picked a bigger dish here.

Whiskey Caramel topping: in a small saucepan on medium heat, stir the sugar, golden syrup and 250 ml of just-boiled water until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer for 2 minutes then take off the heat and add the whiskey.

Pour the hot liquid over the back of a spoon to prevent disturbing the pudding too much (don’t worry if it sinks). Don’t mix. This may look very weird to you but that’s the way it should be. Top with the sliced banana.

Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the pudding springs back when lightly pressed by a spoon. You will have a golden cooked sponge on top with a hot caramel sauce hidden beneath. Serve hot with ice cream, enjoy!
