If you're a fan of good old banana bread, you're sure to love this extra special version. It's packed full of both dried and fresh fruit, with plenty of pecans for a great textural contrast. To help you feel like you're in the Caribbean, under the shade of a banana tree, we add in a generous splash of rum and ground allspice. A slice or two of this cake is just what you need on a rainy English afternoon.

This cake is free from refined sugar, except in the banana chips and demerara sugar on top.
