Banana and yogurt cake

I can provide you with a recipe for a delicious banana and yogurt cake. Here are the ingredients and the procedure:

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 250 grams of natural yogurt (Greek for a creamier texture, if possible)
  • 200 grams of all-purpose flour
  • 150 grams of granulated sugar
  • 100 ml of seed oil (such as sunflower or corn oil)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 packet of baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for decoration)

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Meanwhile, butter and flour a cake tin, or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until you get a puree.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until you get a light and fluffy mixture.
  4. Add the seed oil and yogurt to the sugar and eggs, and mix well to blend the ingredients.
  5. Add the banana puree to the mixture and stir.
  6. In a separate container, sift the flour with the baking powder and salt.
  7. Fold the sifted flour into the rest of the dough, mixing gently to avoid lumps.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and level it with a spatula.
  9. Bake the cake for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before unmolding it completely and let it cool down to room temperature.
  11. If you wish, before serving, you can sprinkle the surface with powdered sugar.
