Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 40 minutes
Total: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 2 ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons fruit syrup (preferably raspberry or blueberry for an intense flavor)
- 6 tablespoons flour
- 6 tablespoons oil (sunflower or olive oil for a subtle taste)
- 12 tablespoons sugar
- 500 g heavy cream
- 1 pack of coconut (about 200 g)
- 1 pack of blue sugar (for vibrant color)
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 4 tablespoons oil (for extra moisture)
- 1 pack of vanilla sugar

Step 1: Preparing the sponge cake
Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with 6 tablespoons of sugar and a packet of vanilla sugar until you achieve a stiff foam that holds its shape. This is the key to a fluffy sponge cake, so don’t rush – beat the egg whites until their volume doubles.

Step 2: Combining the ingredients
In another bowl, mix the egg yolks with 4 tablespoons of oil and the 4 tablespoons of fruit syrup. Gradually add the flour mixed with baking powder and the banana blended or mashed until you achieve a smooth mixture.

Step 3: Folding in the egg white foam
Gently fold the egg white foam into the egg yolk mixture using a spatula, so as not to deflate the air in the egg whites. Make sure to mix with gentle up-and-down motions.

Step 4: Baking
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Pour the batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the cake turns golden and passes the toothpick test. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a rack to cool completely.

Step 5: Preparing the cream
In a bowl, mix the heavy cream with the blue sugar and coconut. This delicious cream will add a rich texture and a tropical flavor to your cake. You can also add a few drops of coconut essence for extra flavor.

Step 6: Assembling
When the cake has completely cooled, cut it into cubes or slices, as preferred. Spread a generous layer of coconut cream over each piece and decorate with banana slices or a few fresh berries for an elegant look.

Serving suggestion
Serve the Blue Cake chilled, alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with a caramel sauce for a delicious contrast. It’s perfect for parties, birthdays, or simply to enjoy a moment of indulgence.

Possible variations
You can replace the bananas with peaches or apples, and the fruit syrup with elderflower nectar for a different flavor. Also, for a more intense taste, you can add some ground nuts to the mixture.

With these tips and detailed steps, you will achieve a Blue Cake that not only looks spectacular but also delights the taste buds. Enjoy every bite and cherish the appreciation of your loved ones!
