Equipment

  • Baking sheet (39 x 26 x 4 cm)
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatula
  • Sharp knife
  • Refrigerator

Ingredients

  • 225 ml sunflower oil
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 240 g sugar
  • 1 pack vanilla sugar
  • 380 g wheat flour (Type 405)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pack baking powder
  • 4 tablespoons baked cocoa
  • 250 ml milk
  • some butter for greasing the pan
  • 600 g cream
  • 2 packs vanilla sugar (for filling)
  • 100 g tender bittersweet chocolate
  • 8 bananas (about 1.2 kg)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and grease the baking sheet lightly with butter.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sunflower oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla sugar until smooth and slightly frothy.
  • In another bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa; gradually add this to the egg mixture while alternating with milk.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and smooth it out, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Once cooled, scoop out a shallow layer from the cake and crumble the bits into a bowl.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream until stiff peaks form, then add vanilla sugar and fold in chopped chocolate.
  • Peel and halve the bananas lengthwise, arrange them on the hollowed-out cake base, and spread the whipped cream evenly on top.
  • Sprinkle reserved cake crumbs on top and chill the cake for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can substitute melted butter for sunflower oil. Feel free to replace bananas with other fruits like strawberries or mango slices for variation. Make sure to chill the whipped cream before whipping for firmer peaks. Store leftovers tightly wrapped or in an airtight container in the fridge, where it will keep for up to three days. You can also freeze slices individually wrapped in parchment and foil for up to a month.
