What can I say about my love for Banana Bread? Or Banana Cake? Or just Bananas? I don't really like to call it "Bread" because it will give me the excuse to eat the whole loaf on my own. So by calling it Cake it is easier for me to stop. :)
The problem with this recipe is that it is not so easy to buy brown, ripe bananas - which is THE key ingredient for a good Banana Bread-Cake.
So this recipe needs a couple of days of planning ahead; usually I see green bananas in the supermarket, decide to buy them now and then I wait until they are brown. Good plan, right? The only problem is that if you are not living alone sometimes food mysteriously disappear. More than once it happened that I was standing in the kitchen and ready to prepare the batter but couldn't find the brown bananas - until I saw the guilt on my bf's face. Well... I guess he saved me from eating too many banana bread/cake! :)
Enough blabbering... Here is the recipe:
2 eggs
100 g Joghurt
100 g Butter
2 brown bananas
110 g powdered sugar
300 g flour
50 g grounded almond
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon Natron
handful of chocolate chips
handful of walnuts
pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg
First mash the bananas with a fork. The easiest way is to do that in a bowl. Beat the eggs with the butter and sugar. Add the mashed bananas. In another bowl mix the flour with the almond, salt and natron, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Put the flour-almond mixture spoon by spoon into the egg-butter-etc-mixture until everything is smooth. After that add the joghurt and the chocolate chips and walnuts. Pour the batter into a oiled form and bake it in the oven (preheated to 160 degrees) for about an hour. Please keep an eye on the cake, it shouldn't turn dark.
The cake tastes the best if you have the patience to let it cool for a day in the fridge. Don't forget to put a foil around it so it won't dry out.
