How to cook Banana Nut Cake

Step 1

Prepare the cookie dough with nuts. Cut the butter into cubes and leave for 30 minutes at room temperature. Chop the walnuts until fine crumbs are obtained.

Step 2

Mash the banana pulp with a masher and transfer to the mixer bowl. Add soft butter, natural yogurt, eggs and sugar. Whisk until a homogeneous mass is obtained.

Step 3

Sift flour with baking powder through a fine sieve and gradually, whisking with a mixer at low speed, add to the previously prepared banana mixture. Knead the dough thoroughly.

Step 4

Add 2/3 chopped walnuts and stir. Heat the oven to 160°C. Line the mold with baking paper. You can brush it lightly with butter.

Step 5

Pour the prepared banana cake batter into the pan and smooth it out. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped nuts. Bake for about 50 minutes.
