Cake with condensed milk and bananas is a dessert that is loved by many. There are enough recipes and recommendations on how to cook it. But we will focus on two options: how to make without baking and how to cook a classic biscuit cake.
Recipe Difference
So what is the difference? The answer is very simple: the whole thing is at the core. A cake of bananas and condensed milk without baking is made on a layer of cookies. The classic recipe suggests the presence of sliced biscuit.
What can replace bananas with?
A cake made from cookies, condensed milk and bananas is certainly good. But many may think that such a dessert is too cloying. Of course, children will be delighted with bananas. But for adults, you can make a cake with kiwi. Their slightly acidified taste is better combined with sour cream.
If the bananas get dark
For many housewives, aesthetics are extremely important. But because bananas, which tend to darken, may seem ugly in the layer of cake. In this case, the cream for dessert can be prepared separately by lightly tinting it with a spoon of cocoa. Such a touch will add beauty to the shade and make the taste more complex and pleasant. However, it is worth remembering that with other fruits this focus will not work. Banana goes well with cocoa. But the juice of other components simply will not allow the cream to thicken.
Cake with bananas and condensed milk: a list of ingredients
So, for dessert we need:
- premium flour - 100 grams;
- butter (fat content from 82%) - 100 grams;
- granulated sugar - 75 grams;
- chicken egg - 3 pieces;
- banana - 2 pieces;
- condensed milk - two-thirds of a standard can;
- bread soda - half a teaspoon.
Step cooking
The most important thing to remember is the density of the cream. Whatever the recipe for a banana cake and condensed milk you choose, the cream should be dense. Most housewives, without much thought, take raw condensed milk. But this is not worth doing. After all, this is fraught with excessive soaking of the cakes. In addition, cookies tend to soften much faster than a classic biscuit.
So, we proceed:
- Boil our condensed milk. To do this, keep the jar in boiling water for 45 minutes, if we make a cake with cookies, condensed milk and a banana without baking; if with a classic biscuit - 35 minutes.
- While the milk reaches its condition, we are doing the test. Separate the yolks from the proteins. The latter is cooled in the freezer for 10 minutes. No more time is required. Beat the proteins at the maximum speed of the mixer until dense peaks appear. Mix the yolks, introduce them into the mass gently and gradually.
- Immediately after that we throw granulated sugar into the bowl. Again, whisk everything at maximum speed. Bring to a homogeneous consistency. Sugar grains should not be distinguishable to the touch.
- We introduce soda into the mass. You can not extinguish it. But to make the cake really magnificent, either add lemon juice to a spoon with soda, or directly into the dough. Droplets 3-5, no more. This method is also used when you need to lighten the biscuit itself. Again we achieve mass uniformity, but already at medium speeds.
- At the same speeds we introduce flour. We do it in parts. As soon as the dough becomes uniform, turn off the mixer.
- We warm the oven in advance. We install the sensor at 1700 degrees. As long as the required temperature is reached, he takes care of the dough form. Smear it with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Pour the dough so that it is evenly distributed. If you do not have a silicone mold, but a steel one, it is better to cover the bottom with food parchment.
- Bake the cake for about half an hour. Of course, it all depends on the type of your oven. But check readiness should not be earlier than 20 minutes. If you open the cupboard earlier, the biscuit will “fail”, and this can’t be fixed.
- The key to tenderness of any cake is impregnation. In the case of a biscuit, you can resort to simple manipulations. We get our cake from the oven. We are waiting for it to cool. Next, wrap it in cling film and put it into the freezer overnight. By the way, in this form cakes can be stored for a month. Of course, you can do without this technique. But freezing allows you to achieve the greatest tenderness of baking, and therefore the best impregnation.
- Divide the biscuit into cakes. The number of the latter will vary from the splendor of the product. Usually these are two to four layers. We cut using culinary thread or ordinary fishing line.
- Cake with bananas and condensed milk does not only consist of the indicated ingredients. The link in it is high-quality butter. Please note: in no case a spread. Spread is a surrogate for butter. It consists of vegetable and milk fats, as well as various flavorings. In addition, it is not suitable as a component connector, because it softens much faster than real butter. Therefore, we choose a quality product with a fat content of at least 80 percent. So, we begin to prepare the cream. Beat the butter until a homogeneous white consistency. Gradually, literally over a teaspoon, we introduce condensed milk and finely chopped bananas. As a result, the mass should become like a magnificent mashed potatoes of a soft beige shade. We process the cakes obtained with the cream. Remember that its amount must be calculated based on how many layers you have. We begin the assembly. Place finely chopped bananas on the first and penultimate biscuit. We put cakes one on one. Coat the finished cake with the rest of the cream.
How to decorate
Cake with bananas and condensed milk should not be overloaded. After all, it itself is distinguished by a rich taste. Therefore, as a decoration, physalis, a sprinkle of chocolate chips or just small roses from a cream will suit it.
Option without baking
Cake with bananas, sour cream and condensed milk turns out more light and airy. And due to the fact that you do not need to spend time baking a biscuit, your precious strengths are saved. In addition, it is very easy to prepare. Even a child can handle this process.
Ingredients:
- butter - 80 grams;
- cookies (ideally - "Baked milk") - 200 grams;
- bananas - 3 pieces;
- sour cream - 300 grams;
- condensed milk - 250 grams;
- dark chocolate - 100 grams;
- icing sugar - 60 grams;
- vanilla sugar to taste.
Of course, one can experiment with this list. Sour cream should be replaced with cream with a fat content of more than 30 percent, and condensed milk - with cottage cheese.
Step by step cooking:
- We send cookies to the bowl of a blender or food processor. Throw the butter there. Grind until the mass becomes like ordinary sand.
- Take a confectionery ring. It should be at least 22 centimeters in diameter. We put a plate under it. We distribute the mass from the blender along the bottom. We monitor the uniformity.
- We send the ring to the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- We clean the bananas. We cut plates no more than 5 millimeters.
- We send sour cream in a bowl for whipping. We put it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. So the mass will be easier to beat.
- We get our layer of butter and cookies. Pour boiled condensed milk on it. Also do not forget about the uniform distribution. We lay out the bananas.
- We return to our sour cream. We take it out of the refrigerator and beat it for about 30 seconds. Gradually introduce powdered sugar (do not forget to sift it first so that there are no lumps) and vanillin. Beat another 3 minutes until you get steep peaks.
- Distribute the sour cream over a layer of condensed milk and bananas.
- Three dark chocolate on a fine grater. Sprinkle the cake with the resulting crumbs and send it to the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Remove the ring before serving. Dessert is ready!
Little tip
Cake with bananas and condensed milk without baking can be made in the usual pastry form. Moreover, it does not have to be round at all. If you have a square, you can take a regular shortbread cookie in the form of a rectangle and just lay it tightly on the bottom. If a triangle - take a cookie in the shape of a triangle. The main thing is that the form must be detachable.
But if you have chosen a way to create a foundation precisely by laying cookies, rather than chopping them with butter, keep in mind that it is less saturated with cream. And cutting such a cake is not very convenient.
