Notes
1.The bananas are pureed and never simply mashed to enhance the feel of the cake.
2. I’ve adorned the cake within the photographs with brûlée banana slices. These are greatest added simply earlier than serving as a result of they do not maintain as much as humidity and moisture very lengthy.
To make them I lower thick slices of banana and coat them in plain white sugar. I then put a slice at a time on a steel skewer and caramelize the sugar with a brûlée butane torch.
