Banana cake: soft, tasty and easy to prepare

Banana cake is a delicious, soft and perfect cake to serve for breakfast, but also as a dessert at the end of a dinner.

Here is a splendid banana cake, a dessert that is not prepared much at home, but which represents an excellent delicious alternative to the classic apple or simple cakes that are usually made.

The banana is a sweet fruit with an enveloping flavour, and in this dessert we are going to mash it together with the dough, to which we will add a few spoonfuls of yogurt . The result will be an incredibly soft and velvety dessert.

What's more, today we will also give you two more ideas: a version of this dessert made with the Thermomix and a delicious variant with the addition of chocolate!

What do you say, let's start with the banana and yogurt cake recipe?

How to make banana cake

1. First of all, peel the bananas and cut them into slices , then blend them until you have obtained a puree.
2. Break the eggs and beat them with the sugar, then add the baking powder and the sifted flour , so as to avoid the formation of any lumps . Gradually add the oil while mixing and finally incorporate the banana pulp and the yoghurt.
3. Mix everything well and then line a cake tin with parchment paper. Fill it with the dough and cook for about 40 minutes at a temperature of 180°C in a preheated oven.

How to make banana cake with the Thermomix

1. Put the sugar in the Thermomix mug and then add the eggs. Operate at speed. 5 and mix for about 1 minute, pouring in the oil slowly.
2. Add the shredded bananas and the yoghurt and continue at speed. 5 for about 45 seconds. At this point insert the sifted flour and baking powder and let the Thermomix go at the same speed for another minute.
3. When the dough is homogeneous, transfer it to a cake tin and cook it in the oven. Your banana cake is ready. Enjoy your meal!

Chocolate and banana cake

The banana and chocolate cake is truly a more unique than rare delicacy, and you think that making it is really simple . In fact, once the bananas have been reduced to a puree and mixed with eggs, flour and the rest of the ingredients, all you have to do is insert the chocolate into small pieces (you can use the drops or flakes).

Another idea is instead to prepare a chocolate sauce, melting a dark chocolate bar with a knob of butter in a bain-marie: once the cake is out of the oven, cover it with the topping and let it cool!

In short, chocolate and bananas look great together : you just have to try!

How about trying the banana split too?

The banana cake must be stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2-3 days inside a special glass bell or in a container with an airtight lid. We do not recommend freezing in the freezer.
