Close Delish! Banana Layer Cake w/ Vanilla Cream & Dark Chocolate Crumbs Ingredients ✓ 1 very ripe All Good organic banana - peeled ✓ 4 large free-range eggs – lightly beaten ✓ ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey ✓ ¼ cup melted coconut oil ✓ 3/4 teaspoon baking soda ✓ 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar ✓ 1 teaspoon good quality vanilla essence ✓ 1 ½ cups ground almonds / almond meal ✓ ½ cup desiccated coconut i choose organic to avoid preservatives ✓ ½ cup brown rice flour i could also use spelt flour – though not gluten free ✓ zest of one lemon ✓ Filling – this makes enough filling to create two layers, double for four ✓ 200 grams packages mascarpone cheese ✓ 250 grams packages cream cheese ✓ 2 tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup ✓ 1 teaspoon good quality vanilla paste or seeds from 1 vanilla pod ✓ ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg ✓ ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon ✓ To Garnish: ✓ 50 grams dark chocolate – chopped with a sharp knife, additional fresh banana slices. Can also you use edible flowers or fresh berries. Method #1 This recipe will make just two layers. Double to create the full four-layer cake. #2 Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. #3 Place the banana, eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla into a food processor. Process for 2 minutes until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and process for a further minute until thoroughly mixed, scraping the sides as necessary. #4 Grease two sandwich tins very well. #5 Split cake batter between the two tins and give them a wiggle on the counter to flatten out the top. #6 Bake for 25 minutes until lightly golden and a skewer comes out clean when inserted. #7 Set aside to cool for 20 minutes before removing from tin. #8 Cool completely before placing in the fridge for 1 hour to prepare for layering (it is easier to ice the layers when cool and firm from the fridge). #9 Repeat this process to make two more layers. #10 Take the mascarpone and cream cheese out of the fridge one hour (or longer) before you plan to mix the cream together. #11 Use a standing mixer, electric beater or a wooden spoon to mix all the cream ingredients together thoroughly. #12 Taste and add more sweetness or spices if you prefer. #13 Spread the cream out evenly in the bottom of the mixing bowl. #14 Use a knife to cut right through the middle both horizontally and vertically. This will give you four portions of cream to apply to each layer. #15 Spread the cream on each layer evenly using a wide knife or palate knife. It is easier to spread the cream on each layer separately on a board and then construct the cake. #16 I like to let each layer of cream slightly hang over the edge of the cake. #17 Once the layers are assembled I gently run a knife all the way around the sides to smooth out. It gives the sides a smooth but rustic and pretty look. #18 Garnish the top of the cake with sliced banana and the chopped chocolate. Cake will last 3 days in the fridge. #19 Leave at room temperature 1 hour before serving.
