Cake Day and Night of Fasting

The Fasting Day and Night Cake is a delicacy that combines flavors and textures in perfect harmony, making it ideal for those who observe fasting but do not want to give up culinary pleasures. This cake has a fluffy, soft, and airy base that turns into a true feast for the taste buds. It is easy to prepare and can quickly become the favorite of the whole family, having a special visual appearance that makes it perfect for any occasion.

To prepare this cake, start by gathering the necessary ingredients. You will need 200 g of flour, 100 g of sugar, 2 ripe bananas, 100 ml of mineral water, 50 ml of vegetable oil, 1 packet of baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of cocoa. It is important that all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a fluffier base.

The first step is to prepare your base. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until they become a fine puree. Add the sugar and oil, mixing well until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then, add the mineral water and continue to mix, gradually incorporating the flour mixed with the baking powder. It is essential that the mixture is homogeneous and free of lumps to achieve a fine texture.

Once you have obtained a uniform dough, divide it into two equal parts. In one of them, add the cocoa and mix well so that it perfectly combines with the dough. Now, prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper and start pouring alternately a spoonful from each of the two mixtures, creating a marbled effect. This will give the cake a spectacular appearance when sliced.

Put the tray in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cake passes the toothpick test. When ready, let it cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a rack to cool completely.

The Fasting Day and Night Cake can be served plain or sprinkled with powdered sugar, having an intense taste of chocolate and banana. It is a perfect choice to add flavor to fasting days, combining tradition with innovation in a delicious way. Enjoy each slice with your loved ones and savor every moment!
