  • 4 oz (125 g) caster sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 6 medium-large bananas
  • 2 sachets Dr. Oetker vanilla sugar

For the Whipped Cream:

  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

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

  • In a mixing bowl, add sugar and heavy whipping cream.
  • Whisk until the cream forms stiff peaks.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the whipped cream.
  • Store any unused whipped cream in an airtight container for up to 10 hours. Rewhisk before use.

Final Part: Assembling the Cake

  1. Prepare the Cake Base: Trim the top of the cooled cake to ensure the base is 2 inches (5 cm) high.
  1. Create a Hollow:Carve a hollow inside the cake, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) rim around the edges. Then, crumble the set-aside crumbs into fine pieces.
  2. Layering Bananas: Peel and slice the bananas and layer them inside the hollow.
  3. Adding Whipped Cream: Place the whipped cream over the banana slices, shaping it into a dome.
  4. Final Touch: Sprinkle the fine crumbs evenly over the whipped cream.
  5. Chilling and Serving: Chill the assembled cake for at least 2 hours before serving.
