Banana cake

Directions

1. First, peel the banana mulberries and place them in a metal container. ≈ 8 min
2. Use a spoon or your hands to gently crush the ingredients until you have a smooth and even paste. ≈ 4 min
3. Make sure there are no large pieces of banana. ≈ 3 min
4. It is essential that the bananas are very ripe, as this will contribute to the flavor and sweetness of the dough. ≈ 3 min
5. Once the bananas are mashed, add sugar or honey. ≈ 3 min
6. If you are using honey, make sure it is finely chopped or in powder form, so that it doesn’t separate from the bananas. ≈ 3 min
7. Thoroughly mix the bananas and sugar together using a wooden spoon. ≈ 4 min
8. Cover the mixture and let it rest for 5 minutes, to allow the bananas to release their juice and the sugar to dissolve. ⏱ 5 min
9. In a large bowl, combine the flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. ≈ 4 min
10. It is best to use very fine rice flour, as if it is not fine enough, the pancakes may become tough. ≈ 3 min
11. Adding flour makes the crêpes crispier on the outside and prevents them from breaking during cooking. ≈ 3 min
12. Gradually add the banana puree to the dry ingredients mixture. ≈ 3 min
13. Gently mix with your hands or a spoon to obtain a thick dough. ≈ 4 min
14. Ideally, the dough should have a consistency similar to that of pancake batter or pastry dough. ≈ 3 min
15. If the dough seems too thick, gradually add milk or water until you reach the desired consistency. ≈ 3 min
16. However, be careful not to make the dough too watery, as this could cause it to splatter during cooking and prevent it from holding its shape. ≈ 3 min
17. Then, add the shredded coconut to the mixture. ≈ 3 min
18. The coconut adds extra flavor and texture to the batter, which sets it apart from other types of cakes. ≈ 3 min
19. If you don’t have any coconuts or don’t like them, you can omit them, but it is recommended to use them, as they double the flavor. ≈ 3 min
20. Now, carefully mix all the ingredients together, then let the dough rest for 15 minutes, covered. ⏱ 15 min
21. Meanwhile, the flour and cornstarch will expand, and the baking soda will activate, creating a perfect mixture for making light and airy cakes. ≈ 3 min
22. Do not store in the refrigerator, but at room temperature. ⏱ ≈ 2 hr
23. Place a pot or pan on the stove and heat the oil paint. ⏱ ≈ 7 min
24. It is best to use a medium heat to prevent the oil paint from getting too hot. ≈ 3 min
25. If the oil paint is too hot, the outer surface of the wafers will burn, while the inside will remain uncooked. ≈ 3 min
26. Conversely, if the oil paint is not hot enough, the wafers will absorb too much oil paint, which is not ideal for their health. ≈ 3 min
27. Once the oil paint is warm, take a small amount of the paste with a spoon or your fingers and dip it into the warm oil paint. ⏱ ≈ 8 min
28. Don’t put too many patties in the pan at once, as they could stick together and the temperature of the oil could drop quickly. ≈ 3 min
29. It takes approximately 2 to 3 minutes for each pancake to achieve a golden-brown color. ⏱ 3 min
30. Once both sides of the pancakes are golden brown, remove them from the pan using a spatula. ⏱ ≈ 7 min
31. The doughnuts can be lightly dampened with a paper towel or absorbent paper for a few minutes to remove excess oil paint. ≈ 2 min
32. This will help prevent them from becoming too greasy once cooked. ≈ 3 min
33. If you want to make healthy crepes without using a lot of fat, you can use a non-stick pan and lightly coat it with oil. ⏱ ≈ 7 min
34. Next, pour the batter into the pan and cook the crepes on both sides. ⏱ ≈ 7 min
35. These pancakes, known as “banana pancakes,” are delicious and also suitable for a balanced diet. ≈ 3 min
