I baked them on 160C Fan/180C/350F/Gas Mark 4 for about 20 minutes, then left them to cool fully.
Once they were cool I cut holes in the middle of the cupcakes using a cupcake corer and filled them with Carnation caramel.
I whipped up some double cream with a little icing sugar and piped it onto the cupcakes.
I bashed up half of a flake and sprinkled it all over the whipped cream.
To finish the decoration I sliced up a large banana, brushed the slices with lemon juice and pressed them into the cream.
Serve the Banoffee Cupcakes immediately, if there are any left refrigerate overnight and eat within 24 hours to make sure the cream stays fresh – but I can assure you that won’t be a problem!

These look really good and I really like the look of the Richmond Tea Rooms too…wish I lived a bit closer! I'd quite like to try one of your banoffee cupcakes…the hidden caramel in the middle is an added bonus 🙂
Thanks Laura! They were so yummy 🙂 I barely got a look in with my hungry colleagues around! If you ever visit Manchester, Richmond Tea Rooms is a must!
I love banoffee and you made it in to a lovely easy cupcake! I have carnation caramel in the cupboard…..
Thank you! Well that sounds like a great excuse to make some of these 😉
I don't really eat bananas, so I never consider banoffee bakes, but I should because it's an amazing flavour combination, and these look divine! Really like the addition of the Speculoos too, I still have a jar in the cupboard I haven't done anything with…
These are definitely worth trying even if you're not a big banana eater 🙂
Thanks for entering your cupcakes Kat, they look delicious! I'd definitely like to try one as I'm a bit of a Banoffee fan! 🙂
