If you don’t already have one, it really is worth investing in a bundt tin, not only for this rather large and glorious cake, but for any large cake recipe. Bundt tins come in a range of beautiful moulded shapes and will make even the simplest of cakes look magical.

This cake is richly flavoured with banana and dates and is finished with a gooey caramel coconut glaze— strong flavours that are majestic enough to match its right royal shape.
