It’s a simple and quick recipe, perfect for a birthday or themed party. Here’s how to prepare it step by step. Ingredients for the Coconut Base: - 200 g flour - 1 packet (10 g) baking powder - 4 eggs - 200 g sugar - 150 g grated coconut - 100 g butter (at room temperature) - 150 ml milk Ingredients for the Banana Cream: - 3 ripe bananas - 200 ml whipping cream - 50 g powdered sugar - 1 packet (8 g) vanilla sugar - 50 g grated coconut (for decoration) Preparation: 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (conventional), 160°C (fan) and prepare a 24 cm round cake pan by greasing it with butter and dusting it with flour to prevent sticking. 2. In a large bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder and mix well. This step is essential to ensure an even texture for the base. 3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until you obtain a fluffy and light-colored mixture. This will allow air to enter the mix, resulting in a fluffy base. 4. Add the grated coconut and mix gently. Then, incorporate the cubed butter and milk. Make sure the butter is soft to blend easily into the mixture. 5. Finally, combine the dry ingredients with the wet ones, mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until you obtain a homogeneous batter. Avoid over-mixing, which could make the base dense. 6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the base cool completely in the pan. Preparation of Banana Cream: 1. While the base cools, prepare the cream. In a bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until you obtain a smooth puree. 2. Separately, whip the cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla sugar until it becomes firm. This step is important to achieve a spreadable consistency. 3. Gently fold the banana puree into the whipped cream, mixing carefully to avoid losing air from the cream. Assembly: 1. Cut the base into two or three layers, depending on the desired thickness. Place the first layer on a serving platter and cover it with a generous layer of banana cream. 2. Repeat the process with the other layers, ensuring that the top part of the cake is covered with cream. 3. Decorate the cake with grated coconut on top and, if desired, add banana slices or themed figurines that fit the Barbie concept. Serving suggestion: This cake pairs perfectly with a cup of fruit tea or a glass of natural juice. If you want to add a touch of originality, you can also add some fresh mint leaves for a contrast of color and flavor. Possible variations: For a chocolate note, you can add 50 g of cocoa to the batter or use melted dark chocolate in the cream. Additionally, a delicious alternative is to replace the bananas with mango or peach puree for a tropical-flavored cake. With this recipe, you will have a Barbie Cake à la Dora that will delight not only the eyes but also the taste buds of the little ones. Enjoy every moment of preparation and the joy this dessert brings!
