Australian Pavlova Banana Bread Decadent Banana Bread with a Pavlova Twist Ingredients: 3 ripe bananas, mashed 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt ½ cup unsalted butter, softened ¾ cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt 3 large egg whites ½ cup superfine sugar 1 teaspoon white vinegar 1 teaspoon cornstarch Fresh berries and banana slices for topping (optional) Directions: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Mix in sour cream or Greek yogurt. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely. Meanwhile, prepare the pavlova topping: In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add superfine sugar, beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Gently fold in vinegar and cornstarch. Spread pavlova topping evenly over cooled banana bread. Place under a broiler for 1-2 minutes or use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the pavlova topping. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Garnish with fresh berries and banana slices if desired. Slice and serve.
