Instructions

Working time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Simple, quick and low in calories!

First, preheat the oven to 180°C. Step 1, the batter: Simply mix all the ingredients for the batter together (the cream replaces butter or similar, which makes the cake quite low in calories). Grease a round springform pan (approx. 26cm) and then fill it with the fairly runny batter. Bake in the preheated oven for approx. 40-50 minutes. Step 2, the cream: While the cake is cooling on a wire rack, make the cream. To do this, prepare the pudding with the sugar and milk according to the package instructions. Once the mixture has cooled slightly, stir in the quark until smooth. Set aside. Step 3, the bananas: Squeeze the lemon and pour the juice into a small bowl. Peel the bananas, cut them into 1cm thick pieces, and immediately toss them in the lemon juice (to prevent them from browning). Step 4, the brittle: Chop the nuts, slowly caramelize them in a pan with 3 tablespoons of sugar, and then let them cool. Place in a freezer bag and crumble with a hard object. Step 5: Cut the cake lengthwise, spread with raspberry jam, and put it back together. Arrange the banana slices on top of the cake and carefully spread the cream over it. Sprinkle with the caramelized nuts. Step 6: Heat the chocolate coating in a water bath and sprinkle it over the cake with a spoon. Refrigerate until ready to serve. The cake is quicker to prepare than you think and is ideal for beginners because there’s not much you can do wrong. If you prefer, you can just make the batter and skip steps 2 to 6. This will give you a normal but light and delicious chocolate cake (cover with chocolate coating if desired).
