Ingredients
- Fruits: 3 to 4 ripe bananas (ideal for their natural flavor and sweetness).
- Basic pastry: 250 g of sifted wheat flour, 1 sachet of baking powder, 1 pinch of salt.
- Sugar and fat: 120 g of powdered sugar, 1 sachet of vanilla sugar, 80 g of melted butter or neutral oil.
- Eggs: 3 fresh whole eggs.
- Sweet spice: 1 pinch of ground cinnamon (optional).
Preparation
- Mash the bananas: Peel the ripe bananas and mash them finely with a fork in a bowl.
- Beat the eggs: In a large salad bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and vanilla vigorously until the mixture doubles in volume and turns white.
- Add the flavors: Add the mashed banana puree and warm melted butter to the egg mixture.
- Mix the powders: Sift the flour with the baking powder, the pinch of cinnamon and the salt. Carefully pour into the mixture and mix gently with a spatula until you obtain a very smooth paste.
- Baking: Pour the dough into a buttered and floured cake mold. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 35 to 40 minutes. A knife tip inserted in the center should come out dry.
- Tasting: Leave to cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack. Cut into generous, tender slices and enjoy for breakfast or as a snack.
