| Pastel de plátano (banana cake) a variation of apple cake |
In early lockdown, banana bread had a moment, but you probably haven't tried this version of Pastel de plátano (banana cake) brought to us from the Municipal Market in La Laguna. This recipe is a variant of apple cake.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup sunflower oil
- 2 cups of flour
- 2 cups of sugar
- 4 eggs
- 100 grams of chopped walnuts
- 4 ripe bananas mashed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch of salt
Method
Preheat the oven to 200º. Grease and flour a baking tin. Mash the bananas with a fork and mix all the ingredients with a wooden spoon, including the oil, except the nuts. Finally, the chopped walnuts are incorporated with a little flour so that they do not sink into the mixture. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, until browned.
