Ingredients
- 6 banana peels (brown ones are fine)
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 eggs, separated
- 2 ½ cups white sugar
- 3 cups plain flour
- 75g butter
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C
- Grease a 20cm cake tin
- Put the banana peels and half a cup of water into a blender or food processor. Blend them until they turn into a smooth, dark brown, aromatic mush. Set aside.
- Beat the butter, yolks, and sugar in a mixing bowl until it is all combined —it should have the consistency of fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Add the banana peels, the flour, and the baking powder, and mix well.
- Whisk the egg whites until frothy, and gently fold into the mixture, careful to preserve the air
- Pour into a cake pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the cake passes the toothpick test.
