Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in grocery stores, produce sections, baking aisles, and spice aisles. Banana-nanica is ideal; as a substitute, use a ripe, sweet banana of similar size.
Preparation method
- Break the eggs one at a time into a separate bowl to make sure they are good
- Grease a round tube pan with a little oil and all-purpose flour
- Preheat the oven to 180 C to help the cake rise properly
- Peel the bananas and mash them well with a fork until they become a puree
- Set all the ingredients on your counter so the process is easier
- Choose a large glass bowl to make mixing the ingredients easier
- Put the eggs, oil, and sugar in the chosen bowl
- Whisk the ingredients until the mixture is very smooth and even
- Add the mashed banana and ground cinnamon, stirring well to combine
- Get the all-purpose flour and baking powder ready for the final stage
- Add the flour little by little to the mixture, stirring all the while
- Keep mixing until you have a smooth, even batter
- Add the baking powder last and fold it in gently just until incorporated
- Have the greased pan ready for the batter
- Pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula
- Bake in the preheated oven at 180 C for about 35 to 45 minutes
- Notice the cake aroma as it shows how the baking is coming along
- Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake to check doneness
- Take it out of the oven if the toothpick comes out clean; otherwise, bake for a few more minutes
- Let the cake cool naturally until warm before trying to unmold it
- Unmold it carefully onto a plate or cake stand
- Sprinkle a mixture of sugar and cinnamon on top to decorate and add flavor
- Slice and serve right away to enjoy all its softness
