  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 frozen chocolate-coated vanilla ice cream bars, such as Klondike®

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Use the extra butter to grease a 2-quart ramekin or soufflé dish. Then, use the extra flour to dust the greased dish, tapping out the excess, and place on an 18x26-inch baking sheet.

Step 3 -In a large bowl, add the remaining 1 1/4 cups of the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, the salt, the cinnamon, the allspice, and the ginger and whisk to combine.

Step 4 -In a second large bowl, add the remaining 8 tablespoons of the butter, the granulated sugar, the brown sugar, the mashed banana, the sour cream, the eggs, and the vanilla extract and whisk to combine.

Step 5 -Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and whisk until just combined.

Step 6 -Pour 2 1/2 cups of the batter into the prepared ramekin dish.

Step 7 -Stack the ice cream bars on top of each other, then place the stack in the middle of the batter in the dish.

Step 8 -Pour the remaining batter around the sides and over the top of the ice cream bar stack.

Step 9 -Bake the cake until it is set and the center is still jiggly, about 45 minutes.

Step 10 -Transfer the ramekin dish to a wire rack and let the cake cool, about 15 minutes.

Step 11 -Serve.
