Instructions

Step 6: Bake the Cake

  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool the Cake

  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8: Assemble the Cake

  • Once the cakes have cooled, spread half of the creamy custard over the top of one cake layer.
  • Place the second cake layer on top, then spread the remaining custard over the top.

Step 9: Garnish and Serve

  • Garnish the top of the cake with banana slices and whole or halved walnuts.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips for Success

  • Make sure the bananas are ripe for the best flavor and moisture in the cake.
  • Don’t overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added, to ensure a light and fluffy cake.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers and consume within 2-3 days for the best taste.
