Total time: 60 minutes
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 8
Necessary ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil (or sunflower oil)
- 2 packets baking powder
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 300-350 g flour
- 5 apples (preferably tart, like Granny Smith)
- 2 ripe bananas
- 100 g chopped or coarsely chopped nuts
Step by step:
1. Preheating the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 180 °C. This step is essential for ensuring even baking of the crown.
2. Preparing the mixture: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla sugar until you achieve a frothy and homogeneous mixture. This step will add air to the dough, making it fluffy.
3. Adding liquid ingredients: Incorporate the oil into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from curdling.
4. Including dry ingredients: Sift the baking powder, flour, and cinnamon over the mixture and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon. It is important not to mix too much, as this could develop the gluten in the flour, which may make the crown dense.
5. Preparing the fruits: Peel the apples and slice them thinly. Mash the bananas with a fork until they become puree. Add both fruits and the nuts to the dough, gently mixing to distribute them evenly.
6. Pouring the dough into the pan: Grease a round pan with oil and flour to prevent sticking. Pour the mixture into the pan and level the surface.
7. Baking: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Check the baking using a toothpick; if it comes out clean, the crown is ready.
8. Inverting and decorating: Let the crown cool for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a flat plate. Spreading warm chocolate cream will contribute to a decadent taste. Grate some nuts on top for an extra texture and flavor.
Serving suggestions:
This crown with apples, bananas, and nuts is delicious both warm and cold. You can serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a pleasant temperature contrast or accompany it with whipped cream for added creaminess.
Variations:
1. Gluten-free: Replace white flour with almond flour or oat flour for a gluten-free version.
2. Vegan diets: You can use a vegan alternative for eggs, such as applesauce or vegan yogurt.
3. Flavoring: Add a few drops of vanilla or almond essence for extra flavor.
With these tips and clearly defined steps, you will achieve a perfect, aromatic crown that will surely impress everyone who tastes it. Experiment and adapt the recipe to your taste!
