Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make a banana cake without cookies? Prepare the ingredients for the base. You will need a ready-made puff pastry without yeast. It is usually sold frozen in the form of two plates. Take it out of the freezer in advance so that it has time to defrost. It is better to do this on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
Step 2:
Put the dough on a work surface sprinkled with flour. Roll it out slightly from the center to the edges in two small identical rectangles about 5 mm thick.
Step 3:
Sprinkle a small amount of powdered sugar on top of the dough.
Step 4:
Transfer one layer of dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Cover it with another parchment sheet. Put some weight on top so that the dough does not rise much when baking. I put another smaller baking tray.
Step 5:
Bake the cake in preheated to 200°In the oven for about 20 minutes. Cool the finished cake. Bake the second cake in the same way.
Step 6:
Prepare the cream. How to make a cream? Prepare the products. Choose a fatter cottage cheese - from 5% and above, of good quality, without milk fat substitutes. Butter should also be of high quality, corresponding to GOST. Take it out of the refrigerator in advance so that it becomes soft. If the cottage cheese is lumpy, pre-whisk it with a blender or rub it through a sieve until a homogeneous consistency.
Step 7:
Beat the soft butter with a mixer together with powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy. It is better to use powdered sugar for the cream, it will disperse better in the cream, and the sugar will be felt on the teeth. Put a very small amount of vanillin, literally a pinch, as it has a very concentrated taste.
Step 8:
Add the cottage cheese pureed or whipped with a blender in parts. Once again, whisk the mass until smooth.
Step 9:
Wash the lemon thoroughly with a soda brush, then dry it. Remove the top layer of the peel with a fine grater, trying not to touch the white bitter part. Add the lemon zest to the cream and mix it thoroughly so that the zest is evenly distributed.
Step 10:
For the filling, take ripe, but not overripe bananas. Wash and dry them before use.
Step 11:
Then peel them and cut them into circles.
Step 12:
Assemble the cake. At the bottom of a rectangular parchment-lined form, lay out the first layer cake. Spread a third of the curd-butter cream on top of it. Level it up. I spread the cream with a pastry bag.
Step 13:
Put half of the banana circles in one layer on the cream.
Step 14:
Put another part of the cream on top. Put the remaining bananas on the cream. Brush the bananas with the remaining cream.
Step 15:
Cover the cake with the second cake and press lightly so that all the layers are well connected. Put the cake in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Step 16:
Before serving, you can sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar and decorate with banana slices and mint.
I came up with this cake myself. In general, there are many different recipes for banana cakes on the Internet. And from puff pastry, and with cottage cheese. But I wanted to combine my favorite cottage cheese butter cream in my cake, where I added a little zest to dilute the sweetness of the cream with a little citrus sourness. As for the cakes, they are usually just baked, and then cut lengthwise. I decided to make the cakes dense, like on milfey. The cake turned out not only delicious, but also very beautiful.
In addition to the purchased one, you can also use your own dough. The recipe for homemade puff pastry for this baking you can choose in this directory .
Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are different. The temperature and cooking time may differ from those specified in the recipe. To make any baked dish successful, use useful information about the features of ovens !
