Cooking method

Preparation:
1. Pour dark rum over the raisins one day before making the cake. Soften butter at room temperature. For the dough, mix flour with sugar and salt, add butter and rub into crumbs with your fingers. Add the egg yolks and knead to an elastic dough. If it gets too dry, add a little water or milk. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. For the filling, place the banana pulp in a blender and mash. Add sugar, vanilla sugar, all spices, raisin rum, butter and whisk. Transfer the mixture to a deep bowl and add the nuts and raisins.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the cooled egg whites and salt into a stiff froth. Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the whites into the banana mixture using a silicone spatula.
4. Roll the chilled dough into a flat cake. Grease a round shape with a diameter of 22-26 cm with oil and put the dough in it, making the sides. Pour the filling inside and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and bake the cake until tender, 25 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven, sprinkle with allspice, refrigerate and serve with hot chocolate or coffee.

This popular Latin American dessert, one of the continent's most beloved fruits, is usually accompanied by a sumptuous cup of hot chocolate. Only chocolate must be unsweetened.

My comments on the recipe:
Girls, if you have 6 overripe bananas, bake, you will not regret it !!! My (all three) were just addicted to the taste of this pie !!! Mommy tried it first, she said that despite the nondescript appearance (well, it's like a compliment), the cake is simply unusually tasty! I will note that my mother does not really respect banana baked goods (and this is putting it mildly). Here's a daughter - yes, she loves banana baked goods, she dubbed this cake paradise. Well, my husband ... and my husband, he doesn't like sweets at all ~~but always cracks~~ and rarely praises, but here ... he praised straight
