Banana & almond cake

Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/gas 3. Grease a deep 23cm springform cake tin with olive oil and line the base with greaseproof paper.

Put 350g of the peeled bananas into a food processor, crack in the eggs, and add all of the remaining ingredients. Go in with 50ml of olive oil, add a small pinch of sea salt, then blitz until smooth. Tip the mixture into the cake tin and spread out evenly. Slice the remaining bananas and arrange on top, then bake for 45 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean.

Remove from the oven, brush with a little maple syrup, and leave to cool for 10 minutes. Run a palette knife around the edge of the tin, then release the cake and transfer to a wire rack to cool, or serve warm.
