Banana Cake

The banana cake is a delicious and incredibly fragrant home-made pastry. The recipe is so simple that it can be prepared even by a beginner cook. The cake turns out very soft and fluffy, with a golden brown crispy crust on the outside. During the baking process, the banana fibers darken, creating an original pattern on the dough. The pastry with bananas always turns out not only delicious, but also beautiful in cut. At will, ground nuts or pieces of chocolate can be added to the dough.
