postheadericon Yummy Banana Cake with caramel

Dish Description
A very tasty, juicy and different cake that our friend Chara suggested. The recipe comes from chef Argiro Barbarigou and with less than 20 min of preparation our cake was a success! Ideal for breakfast or to enjoy with coffee or tea! What is different about this cake is that it has a nice banana caramel coating that we create initially at the bottom of our pan and it comes on the upside when we turn the cake upside down. 


8-10 servings

Great Freaky Chefs you will need:
For the cake:
  • 125 gr. butter
  • ¾ cup raw cane sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 and ¾ cups soft flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 small vanillas
  • 2 bananas ripped and cut in small pieces
  • ¾ cup walnuts cut or grounded (depending on how you like it better)
  • ¾ cup chocolate chips
Banana caramel coating:
  • 1/3 cup raw cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 banana cut is thin slices
Execution:
Preheat oven in 170oC.

Banana caramel coating:
Prepare a cooking pan, covering it with butter. Add the sugar and butter in a frying pan and cook in low heat until it becomes caramel.  Place the banana slices and let rest.

Cake:
Using the mixer, beat the butter with sugar for 5-6min then add the eggs and continue.
Riddle the flour, baking powder, baking soda and vanilla and add them in the mix. Continue beating until you have a smooth mix.
Add the walnuts, banana and chocolate chips and blend with a spoon.


Poor the mix in the pan covering the banana/caramel coating and bake in the oven for about 45 min.

Let rest for 10 min and then turn the cake upside down on a plate so that you have the banana/caramel coating upside.


Tip1: It is really important to riddle the flour, baking soda and baking powder in order to have a fluffy cake!
Tip 2: Make sure all ingredients are in room temperature when you use them

Good luck freaky chefs!
