Features of product selection

For a delicious banana cake It’s always better to take homemade sour cream for cream: it has a sweetish, delicate taste, it is fattier and whips better. The consistency is good, thick, but not excessively, not oily. It is advisable to choose bananas based on their yellow skin without green spots.

History of Banana Cake

I couldn’t find the history of the banana cake, but the world owes the origin of the sponge cake the French and the British. The French invented a long-lasting sponge cake, which, after secondary baking, was used as food on ships different countries. English sailors brought biscuits to daily life landlubbers, and they loved it so much that they made it a traditional addition to five o’clock tea.

They say that in the times of Queen Victoria, not a single tea party was complete without a biscuit, naturally, not dry, but fresh with layers, cream and various additions. Who knows, maybe the royal confectioners were already combining sponge cake with banana, especially since during her reign Europe was already feasting on them.

A tradition that dates back to the 18th century is still alive in England. Unmarried girls take a piece of cake from the wedding and put it under their pillow at night. According to popular belief, at night a young lady should dream about her betrothed.

How to make banana cake at home

The hardest part about making banana sponge cake at home is the sponge cake. The ideal biscuit should be tall and fluffy; it is prepared according to strict rules, with the utmost care. In order not to torment my family with long preparations and not to languish myself, I take some liberties. For a simplified sponge cake of a simple banana cake, we take eggs, sugar, butter, flour, baking powder.

Before making the dough, turn on the oven - let it warm up to 180 degrees. Now about the tricks quick biscuit. I will not separate the yolks from the whites and beat them separately, as is customary, and I will also not melt the butter, but first things first.

Let's start preparing the base of the banana cake by beating four eggs and 70 g of sugar in a deep bowl with a mixer. You need to beat until the sugar is completely dissolved, you can try with your finger to see if there are any grains. Then add flour sifted with a teaspoon of baking powder into the egg mixture a little at a time.

Initially, in the list of products I indicated 200 g of flour, there is a caveat here: the dough for homemade banana cake should be the consistency of thick sour cream, so Add flour in small portions. It is possible that the entire amount will not be needed. I repeat once again: The dough should spread, but with difficulty.

Next, set the dough aside, take a springform pan and crumble 100 g of butter into small pieces onto the bottom of the pan, trying to distribute it evenly over the bottom. Sprinkle bread crumbs generously over the top of the butter. In my opinion, a very tasty banana cake is obtained when there are a lot of bananas in it.

Before pouring the dough into the mold, finely (1 cm x 1 cm) chop a couple of bananas and add them to the dough, and then pour it evenly into the mold with a spoon. Place the mold in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Cake cream recipe

While the base of the banana cake is languishing in the oven, let's make the cream. Beat 500 ml sour cream with the remaining 70 g sugar.

Cream of homemade sour cream It is better to beat with a whisk, otherwise you can overdo it and beat the butter with a mixer.

Next, I want to offer you two options to choose from on how to make cream for a banana cake: I tried it this way and that way. You can add mashed bananas to the cream, you can cut them into pieces and place them on the crust, and then grease them with cream. Both options are delicious.



Take the finished biscuit out of the oven and let it cool. Then cut it in half and start assembling the cake.

How to beautifully decorate and serve banana cake

Bananas are a unique product in their own way; they can be combined with any fruit and berries that can be used for decoration, and the combination of chocolate and banana has long been used by confectioners of all countries and peoples. Chocolate fondant or glaze will not only decorate the cake, but also add its own velvety taste.

You can decorate the cake with fondant, figures made of dough or cream, chocolate; the chocolate pattern can be made on parchment, and then, after removing the paper, transfer it to the cake. Another interesting way to decorate a cake is to assemble it in a springform pan and, placing pieces of fruit on top of the cake, pour in the jelly.

The main ingredient in baking banana cake is bananas. During cooking, keep in mind that bananas themselves are sweet, even cloying, so you don’t need a lot of sugar. Because bananas are rich in starch, they darken when cut. To preserve their color, sprinkle with lemon juice.

Within a few minutes, the author of the video shares the secret of a simple and soft sponge cake, as well as custard with coconut flakes. By the way, this cream can be used in other cakes and pastries. After watching the author’s detailed explanations of how to make a banana cake, even those who are far from cooking will understand.

Invitation to discuss the cake and possible improvements

I presented my banana cake with a step-by-step recipe for your judgment. I really like to cook, especially desserts, I love variety and something new. I will be glad if I receive some recommendations, advice, share your secrets. Write how you decorate your banana cake, what type of dough and cream you use, I’m interested in any opinion.

Banana desserts are not new today, and many people with a sweet tooth order these desserts in various establishments. Some people may think that it takes a lot of time to prepare. With this article I wanted to convince you of the opposite: banana cake can be prepared quickly and quite simply, and the recipe presented will confirm this.

Hi all. Today I want to tell you how to make super delicious filling for sponge cakes or rolls. Bananas, who doesn't love them? However, many are afraid that they will darken in the filling. So, if you are also afraid of this or are simply looking for a recipe for an unusual topper, this article is for you.

In general, I admit, I really love bananas in cakes; they add incredible tenderness to the sponge cake. There is already one recipe on the blog, there are bananas in the layer, this cake is incredibly easy to prepare and also incredibly tasty. By the way, the bananas in it were fresh.

According to my idea, this time I wanted to caramelize the bananas, thus soaking the sponge cake itself with this caramel syrup. It turned out really juicy and tasty.

So, how to prepare caramelized bananas for a cake at home, recipe with photos step by step.

Ingredients:

1. 3−4 bananas
2. 100 gr. Sahara
3. 50 gr. butter
4. 50 gr. water

Preparation.

First, let's prepare the bananas themselves, peel them and cut them into pieces, don't chop too much, otherwise the mass will turn into puree, leave one and a half to two centimeter pieces.

We choose the thickest-walled dishes. Melt ours in this saucepan butter.

Add sugar to the melted butter.

And, stirring occasionally, wait for the sugar to dissolve; by this time it should acquire an amber color. Be careful not to overcook, otherwise the sugar will burn and the mixture will taste bitter. The mass may come into clumps, don’t be alarmed, then it will all come apart.

As soon as the sugar is melted, add hot water! water, mix. Be careful, the mixture will boil.

Add bananas and, stirring, simmer for 5 minutes.

I added another 50 grams of water, I wanted to get more liquid to soak my biscuit.

Remove from the stove and cool to room temperature.

I swapped the filling and cream in the cake, first placed bananas with caramel syrup, and then the cream. I soaked the sponge cake itself a little with cream, and after 6-8 hours, when the cake absorbed the syrup from the filling, it became simply delicious in taste.

This is how delicious my cake looked in cross section.

The cake turned out very tasty - in a layer, on top.

By the way, if you caramelize bananas in this way only in larger pieces, and maybe even whole ones, then it can be served as an independent dessert, supplemented with a scoop of ice cream.

Try it too. Kids will definitely appreciate this taste!

Bon appetit.

The first step is to bake the biscuit. I have two of them - regular and chocolate. I always give the biscuits time to sit for at least a day. Then it’s easier for me - I’m not so tired of doing everything in one day. And most importantly, if you let the biscuit sit, it will be much more pleasant to work with. It seems to ripen and become pliable.

If you wrap a cooled sponge cake in cling film and let it sit for a day, it becomes juicy. It sounds strange, but, as verified, it really is so.

So, I bake the simplest biscuit - 5 eggs, a glass of sugar and a glass of flour.

The first step is to separate the eggs into whites and yolks.

I like it with powdered sugar. This is, of course, possible if you have a coffee grinder)

Continue beating the egg whites and sugar.

For convenience, beat a little yolks

Now is the time to start preparing the sour cream.

1 liter of sour cream 26%

I did this in order to achieve a dense consistency of the cream, since I wanted to coat the top and sides of the cake with this cream.

I'm starting to assemble the cake.

I originally wanted to bake colored cakes, but the birthday boy ordered chocolate cake. So this idea came to my mind.

I took a lid whose diameter is smaller than my sponge cake. I placed the lid exactly in the middle of the cake and cut out a circle. I did the same with the second cake layer.

Preparing the cream. For the cream, first whipped 500 heavy cream, sugar and a little lemon juice.

The cream turned out VERY thick. It seemed too heavy for a layer, so I left 1/3 for decoration. And to the rest I added 20% sour cream (about 200 ml).

I didn’t try too hard and this is what happened.

I didn’t weigh the finished cake, but I can say that we ate it for 2 days. Considering that there were a total of 10 guests, I gave 2 good pieces to the guests with them and the children and I finished 1/4 on the second day.
