Ingredients for 6 servings

For 6 guests :
200 g ripe bananas
200 g of flour, sieved
200 g of caster sugar
70 g of butter
2 eggs

the juice of half an orange or half a lemon

10 g of baking powder
1 tbsp peanut oil
1 pinch of salt

Step-by-step directions

Turn the oven on at a temperature of 350°F (180°C or TH 6-7)

Slowly melt the butter and then leave to cool a bit until it has become warm. Peel and slice the bananas, then crush them in a large bowl using a fork. Add orange juice (or lemon juice), sugar, a pinch of salt, eggs, baking powder, flour, oil and finallly the melted butter.. Whisk everything together.

Grease a cake mold with some butter. Place the mold in the refrigerator in order to allow the butter to set. Pour the batter into the mold. Cook for 40 minutes in the middle part of the oven (at 350°F or 180°C). Check if the cake is done by piercing its middle with a needle, making sure it comes out hot and dry.

Unmold the cake 5 minutes after it has been removed from the oven. This cake may be kept for 5 days, covering it with some plastic film. Experience has it that this dessert will not have such a long life... as its softness and its wonderful taste delight food lovers of all ages.
