Steps

  • 1. In turns let’s bake in the multicooker 2 sponge cake layers from 4 eggs then cut each cake layer in halves. As a result we’ll get 4 chocolate cake layers. For preparation of the first cake layer let’s carefully separate 4 egg yolks from egg white. Put aside egg whites and add 70 g of sugar to yolks. Let's whip up mixture with the mixer for 5 minutes to obtain fluffy light cream. Ingredients for 2 sponge cake layers: eggs - 8 pcs; wheat flour - 220 g; sugar - 280 g; boiled water - 160 ml. vegetable oil - 200 ml; cocoa powder - 80 g; corn starch - 40 g; baking powder for the dough - 4 tsps; salt - a pinch.

  • 3. Further add 40 g of sifted cocoa powder. Let's carefully mix to homogeneous consistence by means of the mixer.
  • 4. In the received substance let’s pour in fiercely boiled water. Again we will stir with the mixer, trying to obtain even texture of mixture.
  • 5. In separate ware we’ll combine 110 g of wheat flour, 20 g of corn starch and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Thoroughly stir dry mix, sift it and add to chocolate substance. Again stir dough with the mixer to homogeneity.
  • 6. In separate ware let’s combine 4 egg whites, 70 g of sugar and a pinch of salt.
  • 7. By means of the mixer we will beat up egg whites with sugar to steady peaks.

  • 9. Then join chocolate substance with the remained whipped egg whites.
  • 10. Thoroughly mix dough by means of a rubber spatula so that it becomes homogeneous and air.
  • 11. Let's pour ready egg sponge in a multicooker bowl.
  • 12. Bake a sponge for 45 minutes on the Pastries mode. After the specified time open a cover of the multicooker and leave a sponge for 5 minutes. Then shift a ready chocolate sponge to a wire rack and cool it completely.
  • 13. In the same way we will bake the second sponge cake layer from the remained ingredients. Now let’s prepare banana cream. Peel ripe bananas and cut into rings. In a frying pan with a thick bottom let’s melt 50 g of butter and add the cut fruit. Sprinkle bananas with a small amount of lemon juice so that fruit does not darken. Stirring slowly, we will stew bananas on low fire to softness. Ingredients for banana cream: bananas - 3 pcs; cream - 300 ml; butter - 400 g; chicken eggs yolks - 2 pcs; sugar - 120 g; powdered sugar - 3 tbsp.; corn starch - 30 g; salt - 1 pinch; lemon juice - 1 tbsp.; food coloring - optionally.

  • 18. Cover ready banana cream with food wrap and leave for cooling to room temperature. Meanwhile we will whip up 350 g of the softened butter with three tablespoons of powdered sugar to obtain fluffy light substance.
  • 19. In stages let’s enter a scalded basis into the butter which is whipped up with powdered sugar, every time mixing cream to homogeneous consistence.
  • 20. Cover ready-made cream with food wrap and send to the fridge for 20-30 minutes so that it is cooled and thickened.
  • 21. Let's gather cake. Cut two sponge cake layers in halves. Let's impregnate each cake layer with a small amount of natural or instant coffee.
  • 22. From above sponge cake layer evenly distribute 1/4 part of banana cream. Chop small and fry on a dry frying pan kernels of walnuts.
  • 23. Let's evenly distribute 1/3 part of nuts over cream. Alternating chocolate sponge cake layers with banana cream and nuts, let’s gather all cake. Grease cake sides with the remained cream.

  • 25. Constantly stirring slowly, bring covering to boiling. Then add to it 50 g of butter. Stirring slowly, again bring chocolate covering to boiling then remove it from fire.
