BANANA TORTE



Banana Torte image

Great for a special treat or a family gathering. Very rich, very good.

Provided by Sherry Neander

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 c egg whites (about 12 eggs, save yokes for something else)
3/4 tsp cream of tarter
1/2 tsp almond flavoring
1 1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c brown sugar
3 c graham cracker crumbs
3/4 c nuts - i like pecans but walnuts work just as well
3 tsp vanilla extract
3 to 4 bananas

Steps:

  • 1. Have egg whites at room temp. Add cream of tarter to egg whites and beat at high speed until soft peaks form.
  • 2. Mix sugars together and add gradually to egg white mixture. Beat egg mix until glossy & white (about 5 minutes) Add vanilla & Almond extracts and mix well. Remove from mixer.
  • 3. Combine graham cracker crumbs and nuts. Sprinkle over beaten egg and fold in gradually (1/4 mix at time).
  • 4. Grease 2 cake pans heavely with shortening, pour mix equally into both pans. Bake at 350 Degrees for 50 minutes.
  • 5. Remove from pan to cool. Place a layer of bananas on top & cover with whipped cream, decorate with cherries & nuts.

Tips:

  • To ensure a moist and fluffy torte, use ripe bananas. Overripe bananas add an extra layer of sweetness and flavor to the cake.
  • Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for a well-risen torte. This process incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and more delicate crumb.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter once the dry ingredients have been added. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense torte.
  • For a classic banana torte, use a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and milk. You can also add a splash of vanilla extract or rum for extra flavor.
  • If you're feeling adventurous, try experimenting with different variations of the torte. Add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or even fresh berries to the batter for a unique twist.

Conclusion:

With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet banana flavor, and versatile variations, the banana torte is a timeless classic that is loved by people of all ages. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is a must-try for any home cook.
