Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 35-40 minutes Total: 55-60 minutes Servings: 8-10 Ingredients: - 50 g of butter (at room temperature) - 200 g sugar - 3 large eggs - 300 g flour - 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) - 1 cup coconut milk - 2 teaspoons baking powder - 2 ripe bananas, mashed - 2 cups fresh blueberries (or ½ cup canned pineapple, chopped) Step 1: Preparing the oven and the pan Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. This step is essential to ensure that the cake bakes evenly. While the oven heats up, take a 20 cm round cake pan. Grease it well with butter and dust it with flour to prevent the cake from sticking. A healthy alternative is to use coconut oil instead of butter, which will add a subtle coconut flavor. Step 2: Mixing the ingredients In a large bowl, add the softened butter and sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes creamy and airy. This step is important because the incorporated air will help the cake be fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to incorporate them well before adding the next one. Step 3: Including the dry ingredients In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. The cinnamon mixture not only adds flavor but also a warm note to your dessert. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the coconut milk. Mix until everything is well combined, but be careful not to overmix to avoid a dense cake. Step 4: Adding the fruits Now it's time to add the mashed bananas and blueberries. If using pineapple, drain the juice well before adding it to the mixture. Gently fold the fruits into the batter, being careful not to crush them too much. This step will ensure an even distribution of the fruits in the cake. Step 5: Baking Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It is important not to open the oven in the first 25 minutes of baking to prevent the cake from sinking. Step 6: Cooling and serving Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. You can serve it plain or dusted with powdered sugar for a festive look. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream will turn this quick dessert into a real treat. Possible variations: - Instead of blueberries, you can use raspberries or blackberries for a different flavor. - Add chopped nuts or coconut flakes for an extra texture. This banana, coconut, and blueberry cake is not only simple but also full of delicious flavors, perfect for enjoying with coffee or at a festive meal. Try it and enjoy every bite!
