Ingredients (for 7 people)
- 1 banana
- 1 banana yogurt
- 375 g of flour
- 1 sachet of chemical yeast
- 250g sugar
- 125 g of extra virgin olive oil
- The zest of 1 lemon
Preparation of the banana and yogurt cake
- Put the eggs in a clean container together with the sugar and the extra virgin olive oil.
- Wash the lemon well; grate the peel on top of the previous container.
- Mix everything with the help of an electric mixer.
- In another container put the flour and baking powder, mixing everything well. Then add it to the bowl of the eggs and sugar.
- Add the banana yogurt and mix again.
- Peel the banana, cut it into small pieces and carefully incorporate it into the dough.
- Put the oven to preheat to 180º C.
- With a little olive oil spread an ideal mold for sponge cakes. Sprinkle the edges with a little flour as well, in this way you will prevent the dough from sticking and it will be difficult to unmold it when it is cooked.
- Pour the dough inside the mold and put it in the oven at 180º C for 40 minutes.
- You can test if the cake is ready by pricking it with a wooden toothpick or a fork. If it comes out clean, it is already cooked. But do the test when the cooking time has passed, since if you open the oven door in the middle of cooking, you run the risk that it will not cook well.
- Take out of the oven and let it cool down. When it is warm, remove it from the mold.
- Ready! You can now enjoy it whenever you want.
And how could we eat it? It is ideal to accompany it with a little whipped cream or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Delicious.
