Steps:
- Line a 25 x 20cm traybake tin with baking parchment and heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Tip the sugar, bananas, oil and eggs into a large bowl and whisk them together. If your bananas are very ripe then you can use a balloon whisk for this, or use a fork to mash. Add the flours, cinnamon and baking powder and whisk the mixture until everything is just combined - don't take too long over this bit as the baking powder will have started to activate. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using, and scoop the mixture into your tin. Bake for 30-40 mins or until the sponge is firm and springy to the touch and lightly browned on top. Cool in the tin.
- To make the frosting, beat the butter until it is really soft then beat in the icing sugar. Use a spatula to fold in the soft cheese, making sure it is all thoroughly mixed in. Don't be tempted to beat the mixture, this will make it runnier.
- Lift the cake carefully out of the tin, peel off the paper and transfer it to a plate or board. Spread over the frosting, making it as neat or messy as you like. Lightly dust the top with cinnamon - use a tea strainer to help with this if you have one. Cut into pieces to serve. Will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: Using ripe bananas ensures a sweeter and more flavorful baked banana. Look for bananas with a bright yellow peel and no green tinge.
- Use high-quality cream cheese: Opt for full-fat cream cheese for a richer and creamier filling. Soften it to room temperature before using for a smooth and spreadable consistency.
- Don't overfill the banana skins: Be cautious not to overfill the banana skins with the cream cheese mixture. Leave some space at the top to prevent the filling from overflowing during baking.
- Bake until golden brown: Keep an eye on the bananas while they bake. Remove them from the oven once the skins turn golden brown and the cream cheese filling is set. This indicates that the bananas are perfectly baked.
- Serve immediately: Baked bananas are best served warm and fresh out of the oven. Top them with additional powdered sugar, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of flavor.
