When I was reading thru my old recipes, I came across one which I haven't tried out yet. The ingredients are exciting so I decided to prepare it at last. I had some over-ripe bananas which is crucial component in order to use less white sugar ( which is not very healthy). It's not a complicated cake to make, is just mixing all the ingredients, baking it and pouring some chocolate ganache on top.
Ingredients
- 250g of butter
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar
- 1 tbsp of vanilla sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup of pecan crumbs
- 4 tbsp milk
- 1 1/2 cups of mashed banana
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 tsp of baking powder
Method
In one bowl mix the butter with pecans, in the other bowl mix the eggs with sugar and add milk. Slowly stir everything in one bowl and slowly add bananas and flour with baking powder. Pour the mixture in the pan and bake on 160 C for an hour or so and make sure that if the top is getting brownish cover it with aluminium foil.
Make some chocolate ganache (almost like a sauce) for the topping.
This is how the cake looks like without the chocolate ganache which is not even necessary. It depends if you like more chocolaty taste or you can just sprinkle it with some confectionery sugar or if you have some other idea go through with it. The playground is yours :-)
