Instructions

Preheat oven to 325F/150C fan/gas mark 3, and lightly spray a square cake pan with baking spray or grease well with butter or oil.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F/150C fan/gas mark 3, and lightly spray a square cake pan with baking spray or grease well with butter or oil.

Crack eggs and carefully separate whites and yolks into different bowls – add the whites to a medium bowl and the yolks to a large bowl.

Step 2

Crack eggs and carefully separate whites and yolks into different bowls - add the whites to a medium bowl and the yolks to a large bowl.

Using an electric mixer, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Add both of the sugars into the large bowl with the yolks and whisk until combined.

Step 3

Using an electric mixer, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Add melted butter, water, and mashed banana to the yolk mixture and whisk. Stir in flour just until combined – don’t over stir here.

Add milk and vanilla extract to the yolk and flour mix, and whisk gently.

Step 4

Add both of the sugars into the large bowl with the yolks and whisk until combined.

Fold in the whipped egg whites – again, don’t over stir.

The egg whites will probably float around in small clumps on the top of the mixture, but don’t worry – that’s how it’s meant to look.

Step 5

Add melted butter, water, and mashed banana to the yolk mixture and whisk. Stir in flour just until combined – don’t over stir here.

Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 45 minutes to an hour.

Step 6

Add milk and vanilla extract to the yolk and flour mix, and whisk gently.

Let the cake cool completely. Slice and serve with whipped cream and banana slices.
