A friend made this cake and shared it with us last Shabbat. It was nice, moist and – I admit- quick so I decided to try it yesterday before posting the recipe.
The secret for this cake is mixing. Each time you add a new ingredient, whisk the mixture thoroughly.
Banana Cake (serves 6 people)
Ingredients:
3 eggs
100 gr sugar
50 gr ground almonds
150 gr flour
1 tsp baking powder
4 tbsp oil
2 ripe bananas
Mix the eggs well before adding the sugar. Mix again and add the almonds. Incorporate the baking powder into the flour before adding the flour to the cake mixture. When it is smooth, add the oil. Mix again and add the bananas. Pour into a greased baking pan. Bake for 40 minutes at 340°.
Variations: apparently you can use other fruit. So far our friend has used prunes once and rhubarb a couple of times.

I will definitely have to try this. And not tell my kids about the almonds. They’ll probably eat it with almonds, but if I say anything in advance, I get objections.
Oy! How many grams in a cup?

100 gr is almost half a cup, it seems.

It’s almost out of the oven. Next time, I think I should increase the amounts. Looks a bit small.
So I might do 1 cup or 1 1/2 cup flour, 3 bananas, and 3/4 cup sugar. I’d have to experiment.
I’m sure it will be devoured. It was easy indeed.
