Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan/gas mark 4 and grease and line a 2lb loaf tin.
Step 2
Cream together the softened butter, sugar and Manuka honey and beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the eggs and then fold in the flour and baking powder, followed by the mashed bananas, and mix well. Pour into the prepared tin and cook for 30-35 minutes or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.
Step 3
While the cake cooks, bring a pan of water to a gentle simmer and place a heatproof bowl on top, making sure the water is not touching the bowl. Add in the cream, chocolate and honey and heat gently, stirring occasionally until the chocolate has melted and the mixture comes together. Remove the bowl from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely, transferring to the fridge for 1 hour.
