Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups self raising flour, sifted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ cup vegetable oil

Step 1
Preheat oven to 160°C (140°C fan). Grease a Wiltshire 24cm x 13cm loaf pant and line the base and two long sides with baking paper.
Step 2
Place the flour, sugar and cinnamon into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the banana, eggs, oil, milk and vanilla. Stir until just combined.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4
To make the cream cheese frosting, place all the ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Place the loaf on a serving platter, spread with the cream cheese frosting and decorate with figs, honeycomb and hazelnuts.
