Method
- Set the oven to Gas Mark 4 or 180°C. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, with a little flour. Sift in the rest of the flour with the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda. Mash the bananas with a fork and stir them into the cake mixture. Lastly, add the raisins and rum.
- Divide the mixture between the dariole moulds. Sit them on a baking tray and bake for 25 mins until the puddings are risen and springy to the touch.
- To make the sauce: Pour the cream into a small pan, then stir in the sugar and heat gently until it has dissolved. Stir in the rum and walnuts. Increase the heat slightly and bubble for 2-3 mins, until the sauce is thick.
- Take the puddings out of the oven, turn out into shallow bowls. Pour the sauce over. Serve with crème fraîche or ice cream, if you like.
