Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) conventional oven (top and bottom heat).
- For the brownie batter, break the 200 g dark chocolate into small pieces and slowly melt it with 150 g butter over a double boiler. Stir the chocolate and butter into a smooth mixture. Let it cool a little.
- Gradually add 120 g sugar and stir it in with a whisk.
- Add the 3 eggs one at a time and stir them in as well.
- Finally, briefly stir in 40 g all-purpose flour and 30 g ground almonds.
- Pour the finished batter into a springform pan lined with parchment paper or into a tart pan (26 cm diameter) and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 – 25 min.
- Let the base cool briefly.
- Peel the 2 bananas and halve them lengthwise.
- Place them flat side down on a cutting board and brush them all over with the juice of 0.5 lemon.
- Cut the bananas into diagonal strips and arrange them on the cake.
- Melt the 50 g milk chocolate couverture over a double boiler and drizzle it over the bananas with a small spoon.
- Let the couverture set and enjoy.
Tips
- Caramelized walnuts or pecans also go wonderfully with it.
- Test for doneness with a wooden skewer. The cake is done when no batter sticks to the skewer after poking it in. It is still moist and soft inside and firms up as it cools.
- Be sure to brush the bananas with the lemon juice so they don’t turn brown and mushy.
- If you have an induction stove, you can skip the double boiler. Simply heat the chocolate and butter carefully in a suitable pot.
