The banana cake in the multicooker is easy to prepare and does not require complicated steps. The bananas are mixed together with the margarine, eggs, and the rest of the ingredients, then the mixture is baked in the appliance's bowl on the Bake program. For a different appearance, part of the dough can be mixed with cocoa before baking. The recipe is inspired by Alina, user aalliinnaa07. Quick Info Total time: not specified in the original recipe Preparation time: not specified Baking time: 45 minutes Temperature: 180 °C Servings: number not specified; depends on how the cake is portioned Difficulty: easy Recipe type: fruit cake, prepared in a multicooker Ingredients 125 g margarine 1 cup of sugar or powdered sugar Vanilla essence, to taste 2 large bananas 4 eggs 100 ml sour cream or yogurt 1 and a half cups of flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda A little oil, for greasing the multicooker bowl 1 tablespoon cocoa, optional, for the colored part of the cake Powdered vanilla sugar, optional, for decoration The cups used in the recipe are those mentioned in the source, without a specified capacity. Therefore, it is good to use the same cup for both sugar and flour to maintain proportions. Preparation method 1. Put the margarine in a bowl and cream it with the sugar until you get a homogeneous mixture. If you use powdered sugar, it incorporates more easily. 2. Add the eggs, vanilla essence, and the two bananas. Mix for a few minutes until the bananas are well mashed and the mixture becomes uniform. 3. Incorporate the sour cream or yogurt and continue mixing. Both options are mentioned in the recipe; yogurt was used in the original version. 4. Separately, mix the flour with the baking powder and baking soda. 5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the margarine and banana mixture. Add the flour in several batches and mix after each addition until the dough is homogeneous. 6. Grease the multicooker bowl with a little oil. Pour the obtained mixture into the bowl. 7. For appearance, take a part of the white mixture and mix it with a tablespoon of cocoa. Place this mixture over the dough in the bowl. In the source of the recipe, cocoa is used only to achieve a color contrast. 8. Set the appliance to the Bake program at a temperature of 180 °C for 45 minutes. 9. At the end of the program, let the cake cool before removing and portioning it. If desired, dust it with powdered vanilla sugar. It is important for the recipe to cool before serving, as the slice will cut more easily after the mixture has set. Why I make the recipe often It is a simple cake, with common ingredients and an easy-to-follow method. The multicooker makes baking more convenient, especially when you want to prepare a dessert without using a conventional oven. Bananas add flavor and work well in the mixture even when they are very ripe. The recipe also allows for a small change in appearance without needing two separate doughs. Part of the mixture is simply mixed with cocoa, then added over the rest of the dough. Tips and variations Tips Use large bananas, as specified in the recipe. They are blended with the other ingredients, not added sliced separately. Flour should be added gradually. This way, it combines more easily with the margarine, eggs, and banana mixture, and the dough becomes homogeneous without needing prolonged mixing. The multicooker bowl should be greased with a little oil before pouring in the mixture. Follow the Bake program, the temperature of 180 °C, and the 45 minutes mentioned for this recipe. The appliance used in the source is a Philips multicooker. Let the cake cool before dusting and portioning. The powdered vanilla sugar is added only after baking. Substitutions Sour cream can be replaced with yogurt. In the presented version, yogurt was used instead of sour cream. For sweetening, granulated sugar or powdered sugar can be used. The recipe does not specify a different amount for the two options, but mentions the same measure: a cup. Margarine is the ingredient used in the original recipe. No other fat is indicated in the source, so the recipe can be followed exactly with margarine. Variations Cocoa is optional and is used to color part of the mixture. If you prefer a simple cake, pour all the dough into the bowl without separating part for cocoa. For a marbled appearance, the cocoa mixture can be placed over the white dough and gently mixed with it. The source only mentions mixing part of the white mixture with a tablespoon of cocoa, without a specific pattern. If you do not want decoration, the cake can be served plain after cooling, without powdered vanilla sugar. Serving ideas The cake can be served plain, cut into slices, after it has cooled. For a neater appearance, dust it with powdered vanilla sugar at the end. It is suitable for breakfast, a snack, or dessert, without needing a separate addition. The main flavor comes from the bananas, while the cocoa part only changes the appearance and adds a slightly different note. Frequently asked questions Can yogurt be used instead of sour cream? Yes. In the original recipe, sour cream was replaced with yogurt, in the same amount of 100 ml. What program and temperature are used in the multicooker? The cake is baked on the Bake program at 180 °C for 45 minutes. The appliance mentioned in the recipe is a Philips multicooker. Is cocoa mandatory? No. Cocoa is used for appearance. A part of the white mixture is mixed with a tablespoon of cocoa, then added to the bowl. If you prefer, you can bake the mixture without this colored part. When is the powdered vanilla sugar added? The powdered vanilla sugar is sprinkled after baking when the cake has cooled. It is an optional addition. Why should the cake be left to cool? Cooling helps the mixture to set, and the cake can be sliced more easily. The original recipe recommends letting it cool before serving. Nutritional values The values below are estimates. They cannot be calculated accurately as the recipe does not specify the weight of the cup, the type of margarine, the exact amount of sugar in grams, and the number of slices obtained. For a slice considered to be 1/10 of the cake, the estimate is approximately 250–300 kcal, depending on the actual amount of sugar and the type of ingredients used. Estimated for one slice: Calories: approximately 250–300 kcal Protein: approximately 4–5 g Carbohydrates: approximately 35–42 g Fats: approximately 11–14 g These values include the main ingredients of the cake and can vary. The powdered vanilla sugar and cocoa used for decoration or appearance slightly modify the total, depending on the amount added. Storage and reheating After cooling, keep the cake covered at room temperature if it is to be consumed shortly. For longer storage, it can be kept in the refrigerator in a closed container to prevent it from drying out and absorbing odors from the surroundings. Reheating is not necessary. The cake can be served cold or left a little at room temperature before consumption. If stored in the refrigerator, it is recommended to take it out a little while before serving so that the slices are not too cold.
