Banana and Hazelnut Cake that you can finish in 30mins香蕉榛果蛋糕

Believe me, if you want to bake a wonderful cake in a limited amount of time for some important guests, this is your choice. Everyone can make it, and it comes out to be far more tasty than you imagine!

Well, everything started simply because I saw some leftover ripe bananas and one of my friends was on her way here...And you must bear in mind: THIS CAKE IS THE SIMPLEST TO MAKE! And then I started chopping the bananas, baking the hazelnuts, taking the eggs out of the fridge, sifting the flour...After 30 minutes, I sent the cake into the oven. And the guest just arrived and we all rested in leisure, waiting for the cake to be done. :)

Banana Hazelnuts Cake (about a 10X25cm square mould)

very ripe banana X 3 (must be very ripe!)

granulated sugar 100g

a pinch of salt

L size eggs X 2 (about 140-150g with shell)

unsalted butter 85-90g, melt in microwave for 20sec with 500W power, cool to room temperature

2 drops of vanilla extract (or 1/4 vanilla pod's seeds)

self-raising flour or plain flour 140g

baking powder 1 tsp, sifted with the flour

100g hazelnuts, baked for 10 minutes at 175C,until you can smell the aroma of them roasting

Instructions

Brush the mould with a thin layer of melted butter, and sprinkle a little flour on it in order to unmould the cake smoothly. Chop the bananas (or with your hands!) into a big bowl, whisk the banana with the sugar. It's ok to leave some small blocks.
Beat the eggs in the other bowl until the color becomes lighter and the volume is larger.
Add the following stuff in the banana mixture: salt, beaten egg (in three turns), melted butter, vanilla extract, and mix well.
Add sifted flour and baking powder into the mixture a third at a time. Lightly blend until you can't see the trace of flour. Don't blend for too long.
Pour half of the mixture into the mould, sprinkle half of the hazelnuts, and then pour another half of the mixture. Sprinkle all hazelnuts left on the surface, bake the cake at 175C for 40 minutes.


You can replace the hazelnuts with any other nuts that you like! ;)

Well, you must tell me how you like it after you've tried my recipe...
