Instructions
-
1 Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Grease and line a 900g loaf tin. Using an electric beater or a freestanding mixer, beat together the sugar and butter until light and creamy. Add the mashed bananas and beaten eggs, then combine. Sift in the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt, then fold to combine.
-
2 Spoon a third of the mixture into the loaf tin, then scatter half the Maltesers on top. Follow with another third of the mixture and the remaining Maltesers, then finish with the remaining mixture and bake for 50-60 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then remove, using the parchment paper to lift it onto a wire rack.
-
3 Once cool, make the buttercream. Whisk the butter until light. Sift together the icing sugar and cocoa, then add to the butter in 3 installments, whisking in between each. Add 1-2 tbsp of boiling water to loosen the mixture slightly – it needs to be spreadable. Spoon onto the loaf, then dot with the Maltesers Mini Bunnies, some cut and sat upright, nestled within the buttercream. Cut into 20 small slices to serve.
