To start, focus on the bananas—they are your dessert’s star.

Peel and slice them into bite-sized pieces, which will melt into a naturally sweet delight under the rich batter.

These slices create a sweet base with a soft texture.

They’re ideal for absorbing the flavors of the other components while maintaining their delectable fruitiness.

Now, grab your frying pan; no special equipment needed.

Begin by melting 20 gms butter in the pan to prevent sticking and to add a luxurious buttery taste to your dessert.

Sprinkle 1 TB sugar to create a caramelized layer.

This step promises a caramel crunch that perfectly complements the softness of the bananas.

It’s time to whip up the batter that will encase our sugary bananas.

In a bowl, combine an egg, 50 ml of vegetable oil, and 150 ml of milk, whisking until smooth.

This will keep your dessert moist and tender.

The right mix here is crucial for achieving the ideal texture that makes every bite a pleasure.

Add 130 gms flour and 20 gms cocoa powder into your wet ingredients, ensuring a rich chocolate color and flavor.

Keep the batter light by mixing just until combined.

This prevents overworking the mixture, which can lead to a denser dessert, detracting from the fluffy texture we’re aiming for.

Don’t be surprised if your mouth won’t stop watering while making it!

Enhance your batter with 8 gms baking powder and 6 gms vanilla sugar for a slight rise and a hint of vanilla.

These additions are key to a perfect bake.

They not only improve the texture but also layer in subtle flavors that make the dessert complex and more enjoyable.

Pour the batter over your arranged bananas in the pan, smoothing it out to cover them evenly.

This ensures each bite is perfectly balanced.

The goal is to merge the sweetness of the fruit with the richness of the chocolate batter seamlessly.

Cover the pan with a lid and set it to cook on low heat.

Let it gently simmer for 25-30 minutes, keeping it slow to avoid burning while achieving a moist, cake-like consistency on top.

Patience is crucial for the perfect caramelization.
