Recipe

Tools

• Oven
• Cake mold, the one I use is about 26cm x 12cm x 8cm (high) and it's more than enough
• Mixing bowl
• Cooking scale (to measure ingredients)
• Something to melt butter (I use a bowl and a microwave)

Ingredients

• 3 bananas
• 125g unsalted butter
• 175g white sugar
• 3 eggs
• 125g all-purpose / wheat flour
• 1tbsp rhum
• 11g baking powder (for the one I buy that's 1 bag)
• Something for oiling the cake mold (I use peanut oil)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 210°C (note: I have a fan-assisted oven, I don't know how a non-fan-assisted oven changes things).
2. Melt the butter (I use a bowl and a microwave).
3. Pour sugar and molten butter in the mixing bowl and fully mix them.
4. Add the eggs and bananas, crush the bananas and fully mix.
5. Add the flour, rhum, and baking powder, fully mix.
6. Oil up the cake mold.
7. Pour mixture in the oiled mold.
8. Bake in oven for 10 minutes (note: again, fan-assisted oven).
9. Drop oven's heat to 160°C and bake for 45 more minutes (note: again, fan-assisted oven).
10. Remove from oven and let it cool.
