Grease the Pan: Start by greasing a pan with 20 g of butter. Ensure the butter is spread evenly to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle with Sugar: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar evenly over the buttered surface. This creates a caramelized base for the bananas.
Slice the Banana
Cut the Banana: Slice the banana into even pieces and place them in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Make sure the slices are evenly distributed.
Make the Batter
Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 50 g of sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Add Liquids: Stir in 50 ml of vegetable oil, 150 ml of milk, and 8 g of vanilla sugar. Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients
Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together 130 g of flour, 20 g of cocoa powder, and 8 g of baking powder. Ensure the mixture is free of lumps.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the batter remains light and airy.
Cook on the Stovetop
Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly over the banana slices in the prepared pan. Spread it out to cover the bananas completely.
Cover and Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and place it over low heat. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning; adjust as necessary.
Serving
Cool Slightly: Allow the dessert to cool slightly in the pan before slicing.
Serve: Serve warm or at room temperature. You can enjoy it as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence.
Tips and Notes
Pan Size and Heat: The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your pan and the heat of your stovetop. Adjust accordingly and keep an eye on the dessert as it cooks.
Topping Ideas: For added texture and flavor, consider topping the dessert with nuts, chocolate chips, or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
