Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 50 minutes

Cooking Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

360 g cake flour
1 t bicarbonate of soda
1 t baking powder
½ t salt
1 t ground ginger
400 g sugar
½ cup coconut oil
4 free-range eggs
1 x 385 g pie apples can, crushed
5 bananas, mashed
4 T banana liqueur or 2 T banana essence
200 g pecans, roughly chopped
100 g hundreds-and-thousands

For the Triple Sec cream-cheese icing:

3 cups cream cheese
400 g icing sugar
4 T Triple Sec liqueur or 2 T orange essence

For the white-chocolate- coated popcorn:

100 g popcorn, popped
1 x 80 g white chocolate slab, melted
100 g hundreds-and-thousands

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Combine all the dry ingredients except the sugar and pecans in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, beat the sugar, coconut oil, eggs and pie apples using an electric hand-mixer until well combined.

Add the banana and banana liqueur and stir through. Toss the pecans in the dry ingredients, then slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

Divide the batter between a greased 20 x 10 cm baking tin and a greased 9 cm x 5 cm baking tin. Bake the small cake for 15–20 minutes and the large cake for 35–40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool slightly before removing them from the tins and placing on a wire rack.

To make the icing, mix the cream cheese using an electric hand-mixer until creamy. add the icing sugar and mix until well combined, then add the triple Sec.

To make the white-chocolate-coated popcorn, place the popcorn on a silicone baking mat and drizzle over the milk chocolate. Sprinkle over the hundreds-and- thousands and chill until set.

To assemble, evenly ice the small cake and roll it in the hundreds-and-thousands to coat. Set aside.

Place the large cake on a serving dish, then ice the sides and top. Gently place the smaller cake on top of the bigger cake, then break the set popcorn into chunks and stack on the smaller cake.
