Fruity cake without added sugar – ideal for slim cooking

Mix the yeast with 50 ml of water and the salt and let stand, covered, for 30 minutes. Knead the flour with the yeast water and the remaining 50 ml of water until you have a nice, soft dough. If the dough is too stiff, add more water a spoonful at a time. Let the dough rise until doubled in size. Lightly grease a tart or pie dish or springform pan (this is not necessary for non-stick dishes). Spread the dough into the dish with your hands/fingers, pulling up the edges. Let it rest for a few minutes every now and then to prevent the dough from shrinking as much. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (top/bottom heat). Mash/pure the bananas with a fork. Then mix with the sour cream, rum, cornstarch and vanilla powder/vanilla bean pulp and spread over the yeast dough. Shake the dish a little to ensure the filling is evenly distributed. Bake the tart for 20 minutes. Mix the honey with a little warm water until syrupy and brush it over the tart. Bake for another 10 minutes. Allow to cool thoroughly, then remove from the tin. The tart tastes delicious served lukewarm as a dessert or with afternoon coffee with a little whipped cream. It’s best, however, if you leave it in the fridge overnight and remove it about 30 minutes before serving. This gives it a truly delicious banana flavor. Please note: The surface of the cake will darken over time, but this in no way detracts from the flavor. Tip: This cake is made without rum or honey, making it ideal for babies and toddlers.
