Level: Medium
INGREDIENTS
- 2 EGGS
- 1 TEACUP OF SUGAR
- ½ TEACUP OF MILK
- 6 RIPE BANANAS
- 1 TEACUP OF ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
- 2 TEASPOONS OF BAKING POWDER
- CINNAMON POWDER, FOR SPRINKLING
FOR GREASING
- ½ TEACUP OF SUGAR
PREPARATION
Separate the eggs and whip the yolks with the sugar until obtaining a delicate, light-coloured cream. Add the milk whip a bit longer. Whip the egg whites until firm and gently mix them in with the yolks. Using your hands, thoroughly mash two bananas and combine them with the whipped eggs. Slice the other bananas horizontally and set aside. Sift the all-purpose flour and add the baking powder, mixing it gently into the batter. Make a syrup with the sugar and ½ teacup of water and grease the bottom of the pan, arranging the bananas in such a way they line the whole bottom. Cover with the cake batter and bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for about 35 minutes, or until golden. Remove the cake from the pan so that the banana slices are on the top. Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve.
