Preparation

The package contains

• 275 g baking mix for the base (9.7 oz.)
• 160 g mix for the topping (5.6 oz.)

You need: Springform pan (Ø 26 cm / 10″), some fat

And you add:

• 100 g soft margarine or butter
• 2 eggs (size M)
• 75 ml milk (2.5 Us fl.oz.)
• 3 bananas
• 500-600 g cold whipped cream (17.6 ~ 21.1 oz.)
• 100 ml cold water (3.38 Us fl.oz.)

1 General preparation and dough preparation

• Grease the bottom of the springform pan.
• Preheat oven. Top / bottom heat: approx. 170 °C (340 °F)  – convection: approx. 150 °C (300 °F)
• Baking mixture for the base, put margarine or butter, eggs and milk in a mixing bowl. Mix everything with a mixer (stirring rods) briefly on the lowest, then on the highest level for 3 minutes.
• Smooth out the dough in the springform pan.

2 Bake and hollow out the bottom

• Put the shape on the wire rack in the oven. Slide into the lower third of the oven. Baking time: approx. 30 minutes.
• Loosen the springform rim. Remove the cake from the springform pan, but then leave it on it and let it cool on a wire rack.
• Place the cooled base on a cake plate.
• Hollow out the bottom ½ cm (0.2″) deep with the help of a tablespoon, leaving a 1 cm (0.4″) wide edge. Roughly crumble the remaining pastry crumbs in a bowl.

3 Prepare the topping and decorate the cake

• Peel the bananas, then cut them in half lengthways and spread them with the flat side on the hollowed-out base.
• First whip the cold cream until stiff.
• Mix the mixture for the topping and water in a mixing bowl with a whisk until smooth for ½ minute and immediately fold in the cream in 2 portions.
• Spread the cream on the floor like a dome up to the edge and sprinkle with pastry crumbs (possibly, press down a little).
• Put the cake in the fridge for about 2 hours.
