This year my little boy turned 4! And this is his cake. I spend a lot of time looking for the right cake. The choice was good! Maybe a little bit cream was fat, but it was tasty. Also I drizzled sponge with cherry compote. For 6 people the cake was too big, so leftovers I freezed and now I can enjoy it with the afternoon coffee 🙂
Cake with the caramelized bananas
Time needed:
Yields: 16 servings
Calories: 324 kcal / serving
Ingredients:
- Sponge:
- 2 eggs
- 250 g sugar
- 50 g margarine
- 250 ml yoghurt (I used natural)
- 2 tbsps. cacao
- 1 tsp. baking soda (I used baking powders)
- 1 tsp. vanilla sugar
- 375 ml flour
- 1/2 tsp. lemon acid
- Banana layer:
- 3-4 bananas
- 100 g sugar
- 55 g butter
- 1 tbsp. rum (didn’t used)
- Cream and cream cheese layer:
- 360 g cream cheese
- 400 ml cream, 35% fat
- 50 g icing sugar
- 1 tbsp. milk
- 1 tbsp. sour cream
- 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
Directions:
- First of all bake the sponge: Beat eggs with the sugar, vanilla sugar, cacao, soft margarine. Put lemon acid to the yoghurt and mix, then put baking soda and mix well – should become fluffy foam. Then mix eggs mixture with the yoghurt. With blender working on slow speed mix to the egg-yoghurt mixture flour. Line cake form (26 cm diameter) with the baking paper. Divide dough into the three parts and first part pour in baking pan and bake in preheated to 180°C oven about 10-15 minutes (don’t over-bake, the top should be sticky if touched with the finger). Still hot sponge turn on another baking paper and peal the first baking paper. If it’s hard to take off the paper, moisten it with cold water. Do the same with other two parts of the dough.
- Then prepare caramelized bananas: Cut bananas into slices or cubes. In a pan on the medium heat melt the butter and put bananas. Sprinkle with sugar and mix while it dissolves. Mixture should became thicker and caramelize. Then pour rum and heat a little bit more. Take from the heat and let cool completely.
- Prepare cream cheese layer: Mix cream cheese with the milk and sour cream. Mix in sugar and vanilla sugar. In another bowl beat cream to the foams. Slowly mix cream into the cream cheese mixture. Put into the fridge.
- Layer the cake: Put in the baking form one sponge layer (I watered it with cherry compote), put one third of the cream cheese mixture, level evenly. The put half of caramelized bananas. Put another sponge layer. Do the same – put one third of cream cheese and leftover of bananas. On top put the last sponge and cover all cake with the leftover of the cream cheese mixture. Now you can decorate by your desires.
- My decorations: Found the picture what I needed. Printed on the regular paper. Cut baking paper a little big bigger size than the picture and pin picture with the baking paper. Melt dark chocolate, pour in the culinary bag and paint with the chocolate picture profile. Then melt white and mix with the chosen food colour. Again put it to the culinary bag and colour the painting. After that I had to melt another white chocolate square and it was somehow bad – it lumped and fat separated. So I put picture in the fridge (freezer) to get cool, then when it was firm I transferred picture on the cake. The last part – I had to do something with the windows and lamps. So I took about one teaspoon of gelatin and melted it in the 200 ml of water. Then divided to two bowls and coloured with different colours. Put for about 5-10 minutes into the fridge while it started to jelly. Then with the spoon filled picture parts with jelly. And that”s all 🙂

Chocolate banana shake
One more healthy recipe that I found in books about healthy living. It’s without diary products – that was one good point for me. Another thing – it’s with flaxseed. I’m trying to use them more in our daily family diet. So I almost ran to the kitchen and mixed it. I really recommend to let soak flaxseed meal in water for a few minutes, or your shake will be with hard small parts. But if you will be patient – shake will be very thick and creamy.
Ground flax seed porridge
Lately, if we have bananas, I always make flax seed porridge. I like it very much. And if I add chopped fruits that are at the moment at home, and sprinkle with chopped toasted nuts – porridge comes out unreal! All my family enjoy this porridge, even the smallest and the largest. And I just love the fact that it is healthy and useful, and tasty.
Cream waffles
When I found this recipe I was so exited that baked them a few weekends for breakfast. Cream makes them frangible and even when they are cold they stay very tasty. I bake half of the portion but it’s enough for two kids and two parents for the light breakfast. I really recommend you!
Eggs with a cream
Tasty and easy 🙂 Put ingredients to the forms and while baking in an oven, you can go wake up your family. I prepared them already two times, but both times I over-baked it a little bit and the egg yolks were strong. But neglecting that we liked it, especially my hubby liked the eggs with a feta. And my parents said that these eggs are very solid.
Ice cream without eggs
This hot day I give you ice cream. All agreed that they really good and they taste almost like store bought.
