Where to find ingredients
All ingredients are pantry staples easily found at any local grocery store or supermarket. Use standard white granulated sugar and all-purpose flour. Margarine can be found in the dairy or butter aisle. Look for ripe, yellow bananas in the produce section. The baking powder will be in the baking aisle alongside your spices for the cinnamon. If you prefer a richer flavor, unsalted butter can be used as a substitute for margarine, though the traditional Brazilian recipe calls for margarine.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour, margarine, milk, and baking powder
- Mix everything thoroughly until you have a smooth, uniform batter
- Pour the batter into a greased and lightly floured baking tin
- Arrange the banana slices evenly across the top of the batter
- Sprinkle a generous layer of sugar and cinnamon over the bananas
- Bake in a preheated moderate oven until the cake is golden brown and set
Observations
A perfect, reliable choice for your morning coffee or a cozy afternoon treat, this cake celebrates the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with a fragrant hint of cinnamon.
