Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack vanilla pudding powder (37 g)
  • 1 pack vanilla sugar
  • 500 ml milk
  • 3 sheets gelatin
  • 150 g butter softened
  • 150 g powdered sugar
  • 200 g sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 150 g wheat flour (Type 405)
  • 200 g apricot jam
  • 1.20 kg ripe bananas
  • 250 g dark chocolate
  • 20 g butter
  • 2 tbsp pistachios (optional)

Equipment

  • Hand mixer
  • Baking tray (approx. 38 x 45 cm)
  • Baking paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Double boiler

Method
 

  1. Mix the pudding powder with the vanilla sugar and stir with 4-5 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Boil the remaining milk in a saucepan, add the pudding mixture, and simmer for 1-2 minutes while stirring. Pour into a bowl. Soak gelatin in cold water, squeeze it out, and add it to the hot pudding. Stir until dissolved, cover with cling film, and chill.
  2. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C for fan oven). Line a 38 x 45 cm baking tray with baking paper. Beat the eggs until frothy, sprinkle in sugar and salt, continue beating for 4 minutes. Briefly stir in flour and pour the batter onto the tray, spreading evenly. Bake for about 14-15 minutes and cool.
  3. Spread cooled sponge cake with apricot jam. Peel bananas and cut in half lengthways, placing tightly on the cooled sponge. Beat softened butter until creamy, slowly add powdered sugar, then fold in the chilled pudding mixture until smooth. Spread pudding cream over banana layer, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Melt dark chocolate with 20g butter in a double boiler. Drizzle over the cake, sprinkle with chopped pistachios if desired, and let set in the fridge for another 15 minutes before serving.
