The cake is quick to make, contains no butter or anything similar, and is instead a delicious energy booster for athletes (… and non-athletes)

Mix the flour, nuts, and baking powder. Sift the flour and baking powder if necessary to avoid lumps. Beat the eggs with the sugar until frothy and mix with the quark and yogurt. Puree 3 bananas and add to the quark mixture. You can use less sugar to taste, as the bananas themselves are quite sweet. Then add the flour and nut mixture and stir in the chopped chocolate and walnuts. Finally, cut the remaining two bananas into small pieces and fold them in. Pour the mixture into a greased loaf pan and bake at 170°C (top/bottom heat) for about 60 minutes. If the cake is getting too dark, cover it with aluminum foil towards the end of the baking time. The cake will be very moist, have a “dense” consistency, and be nice and sticky on the inside. It tastes best when it has been left to stand for 1-2 days. It’s also delicious spread with jam or honey.
