Cheesecake-Style Banana Cake

Step by step

1. 1

   Peel 3 bananas, put them in a bowl and mash them with a fork.

   
2. 2

   Add the sugar; if the bananas aren't very ripe, you can add a bit more than the recipe calls for.

   
3. 3

   Add the egg, the oil and the vanilla. Mix again.

   
4. 4

   Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix again — for this part try to use a spatula, so you can scrape down the flour stuck to the sides of the bowl.

   
5. 5

   Pour the batter into a pan and spread it so it covers the bottom well. Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C (350°F).

   
6. 6

   Next, hydrate the gelatin: sprinkle the powder evenly over 5 tbsp of cold water. Stir with a fork.

   
7. 7

   For the cheesecake, add the cream cheese, the sugar and the vanilla extract to a bowl. Mix until combined.

   
8. 8

   Continue with the milk and the hydrated gelatin (first heat it well in the microwave, until it steams). Mix everything well.

   
9. 9

   Pour the mixture over the pan from before and refrigerate for 3 hours.
