Where to find ingredients
You can source these fresh ingredients at local supermarkets or neighborhood produce markets. Look for ripe Cavendish bananas (nanicas) in the fruit aisle; if unavailable, any sweet variety of banana will work as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- In a blender jar, combine the eggs, boiling water, oil, and one sliced banana.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the all-purpose flour and sugar to the bowl, folding them in with a spoon or a whisk until well combined.
- Gently fold in the baking powder until just incorporated.
- Grease a round cake pan with butter and lightly dust it with flour.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Slice the remaining three bananas lengthwise and arrange the slices on top of the batter.
- Sprinkle the surface of the cake with sugar and ground cinnamon to taste.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C until the top is golden and firm to the touch; test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.
