2 In a large bowl, beat together the butter and brown sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time. Fold in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
3 With a metal spoon, fold in the flour. Spoon into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for 50–55 minutes until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then turn out on to a wire rack and set aside to cool completely.
4 Meanwhile, make the frosting. Beat the butter, icing sugar and dulce de leche until smooth and creamy. Spread over the top and sides of the cold cake.
