Main Ingredients
- 1 small ripe banana
- 4 slices of white bread
- 4 Tbsp Nutella spread
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully trim off the hard crusts from the edges of the white bread slices with a knife. This will make the cake layers look neater and provide a softer texture.
Step 2
Using a rolling pin or the bottom of a clean bottle, flatten each slice of bread as thinly as possible. The thinner the bread, the more natural and soft the layers will be when stacked, resembling crepes. Aim for paper-thin!
Step 3
Lightly grease a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place a flattened bread slice in the pan. Cook over medium heat, not high, just long enough to achieve a light Maillard reaction (browning). Be careful not to overcook, as it can become hard. Aim for about 10-15 seconds per side.
Step 4
Transfer the lightly toasted bread slices to a plate. While they are still warm, spread a thin layer of Nutella evenly over each slice. The rich, sweet chocolate-hazelnut flavor of Nutella will complement the crispiness of the bread.
Step 5
Peel the banana and slice it thinly and uniformly, about 5mm thick. Slicing them thinly will help maintain the cake’s balance and stability.
Step 6
Arrange the thinly sliced bananas attractively over the Nutella-spread bread slice. The sweetness and softness of the banana will harmonize beautifully with the rich Nutella.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to build the layers. Place another Nutella-spread bread slice on top of the banana layer, then add more banana slices, and repeat this process. Finish the top layer with a Nutella-spread bread slice. You can stack 3-4 layers depending on your preference.
Step 8
After stacking all the ingredients, gently press down on the cake to stabilize the layers and ensure it holds its shape, creating a beautiful crepe-cake-like appearance.
Step 9
Carefully slice the finished white bread crepe cake in half with a knife. Serve on a pretty plate, and you’ll have a wonderful homemade dessert ready to enjoy with your favorite coffee or tea!
