Ingredients
For the cake:
- 3 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
For the topping:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 50 grams dark chocolate (melted)
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the flour, then add baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Prepare the cake mixture: In another bowl, beat the melted butter with sugar until creamy and light.
Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract.
Add the banana and milk: Gently fold in the mashed bananas to the cake mixture.
Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour into the pan: Pour the cake mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Bake the cake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before adding the toppings.
Prepare the topping: Once the cake has cooled, arrange the strawberry slices on top.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the strawberries, then finish with a touch of honey for extra flavor.
