Mink mole banana cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 day

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make banana mink mole cake? Measure out the ingredients needed to make the sponge cake. Wash the eggs and dry with napkins. Take filtered or bottled water, it should be hot.

2. STEP 2

   

   Combine flour, cocoa and baking powder. Sift the flour mixture to enrich it with oxygen. Thanks to this, the biscuit will rise well during baking and will be fluffy and airy.

3. STEP 3

   

   Divide the eggs into whites and yolks. Do this carefully so that not a drop of yolk gets into the whites, otherwise they will not beat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat the yolks, gradually adding hot water.

5. STEP 5

   

   Without stopping whisking, add half the amount of sugar in small portions. Beat everything until you obtain a thick, light mass.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash the mixer whisks and dry thoroughly. In a dry, clean container, beat the whites first at medium speed until slightly thickened. Gradually adding the remaining sugar and increasing the speed, beat the whites until stable foam.

7. STEP 7

   

   Mix the whipped whites into the yolk mixture in portions. Mix the mixture with a spatula using gentle movements from bottom to top so as not to disturb the airy structure of the proteins.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add flour mixture. It may take you more or less flour than it did for me. Focus on the consistency of the dough.

9. STEP 9

   

   Mix everything carefully until you obtain a homogeneous, airy chocolate dough.

10. STEP 10

    

    Line the bottom of the baking pan with parchment. There is no need to lubricate the walls of the mold with anything. Carefully place the dough into the pan. My uniform is 22 cm.

11. STEP 11

    

    Bake the biscuit in an oven preheated to 180C for 30-35 minutes. Do not open the oven during baking so that the biscuit does not collapse due to temperature changes. Cool the finished biscuit and remove from the mold. It is advisable to let the biscuit stand for 4-5 hours so that the crumb thickens a little. Baking times and conditions may vary. Focus on the operating features of your oven.

12. STEP 12

    

    Prepare the cream. For the cream, you can use a more ripe banana to make the cream more flavorful. But for the filling it is better to use bananas that are ripe, but not overripe. Choose soft cottage cheese so that the cream is more delicate.

13. STEP 13

    

    In a blender, combine cottage cheese, sugar, vanilla sugar and one peeled and cut into pieces banana.

14. STEP 14

    

    Grind everything until you obtain a homogeneous smooth mass.

15. STEP 15

    

    Pour gelatin with cold boiled water and leave until it swells for 10-12 minutes.

16. STEP 16

    

    Heat the gelatin in a water bath or over low heat with constant stirring until it is completely dissolved. Do not bring it to a boil.

17. STEP 17

    

    Start whipping the pre-cooled cream at medium speed, gradually increasing it to maximum. It is also advisable to cool the container for whipping cream. It is important not to over-whip the cream so that it does not become oily. As soon as visible streaks appear on the surface, stop whipping.

18. STEP 18

    

    Mix whipped cream into the curd-banana mixture in small portions.

19. STEP 19

    

    With constant stirring, pour the warm gelatin solution into the resulting cream in a thin stream.

20. STEP 20

    

    Mix well so that the gelatin is distributed evenly.

21. STEP 21

    

    If desired, you can add coarsely grated chocolate to the cream. Mix well.

22. STEP 22

    

    How to form a cake? Using the blade of a knife, stepping back 1.5-2 cm from the edge of the biscuit, draw a circle. Scoop out the crumb from the sponge cake, leaving the bottom at least 1 cm thick.

23. STEP 23

    

    Fill the sponge cake with peeled whole bananas. Depending on the size, you will need 4-5 fruits.

24. STEP 24

    

    Place a mound of cream on the bananas. By this time the cream becomes stable and holds its shape well.

25. STEP 25

    

    To finish the top of the sponge cake, grind the sponge crumb in a blender or crumble it with your hands.

26. STEP 26

    

    Sprinkle the top of the cake with sponge crumbs, pressing down lightly. Place the cake in the refrigerator to allow the cream to thicken.

27. STEP 27

    

    Before serving, decorate the cake as desired, cut into portions and serve. Bon appetit!

The Mink Mole Banana Cake caught my attention as soon as it was published. And since then it has been lying in a cookbook, waiting in the wings. And I waited - for my youngest daughter’s 7th birthday, I baked exactly this. I liked the sponge cake for its simplicity and versatility. In the cream, I replaced heavy cream with sour cream, deciding that I wanted a light dessert and excluded the chocolate chips. The sour cream was whipped quite well, although I didn’t weigh it out (trusted local manufacturer). There was a lot of cream, it turned out to be a high “slide”. The cake is absolutely easy to prepare; in my opinion, even a beginner can handle it! After all, even a common problem for beginners - poorly whipped cream - is leveled out here by adding gelatin. You can safely make it even on the basis of yogurt, it will turn out even less calorie and still delicious. I recommend this cake to anyone who has small children, especially those who love bananas - this cake is very attractive in cross-section. Julia, thank you for the detailed recipe and beautiful photos that I couldn’t pass by

Thanks for the recipe! Everything is simple, tasty and beautiful. And most importantly, the cake turns out to be very “healthy” - bananas, cottage cheese and sponge cake. To complete the picture, I decorated it with chocolate and voila! There was only half left of the cake... Unfortunately, I didn’t even have time to take a photo(((but it turned out just like yours!
