Banana and Yogurt Cake

I can provide you with a recipe for a delicious banana and yogurt cake. Here are the ingredients and the procedure:

Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas
• 250 grams of plain yogurt (preferably Greek for a creamier texture)
• 200 grams of 00 flour
• 150 grams of granulated sugar
• 100 ml of seed oil (such as sunflower or corn oil)
• 2 eggs
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• Powdered sugar (optional, for decoration)

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Meanwhile, butter and flour a cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until you get a puree.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until you get a light and frothy mixture.
4. Add the seed oil and yogurt to the sugar and eggs, and mix well to combine the ingredients.
5. Add the banana puree to the mixture and stir.
6. In a separate container, sift the flour with the baking powder and salt.
7. Incorporate the sifted flour into the rest of the batter, mixing gently to avoid lumps.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level it with a spatula.
9. Bake the cake for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Let the cake cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before unmolding it completely and let it cool to room temperature.
11. If desired, before serving, you can dust the surface with powdered sugar.
