How to Make Banana Chocolate Dome Cake:
Part 1: Preparing the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a 9-inch (24 cm) cake pan with a removable bottom using baking paper.
- Sift the cake flour to remove any lumps.
- Whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff foam forms.
- Gradually add caster sugar and vanilla sugar, whisking until the mixture is dense and glossy.
- Gently mix in the egg yolks, one at a time.
- Gradually fold in the flour-cocoa mixture to create an airy dough.
- Pour the dough into the prepared cake pan and level it with a knife.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the cake pan.
Part 2: Preparing the Whipped Cream
