"Another recipe found @ portuguesedinerdotcom/ (aka Tia Maria's Blog for the Portuguese Foodie), where I definitely hit the mother-lode of comfort food recipes typical of the Azorean Islands & rooted in the Portuguese cuisine. Although most recipes at the site are her own, this recipe was contributed by Mary Connie De Pao, a devoted follower of Maria's blog. My Siggi is esp fond of bananas, so I expect this cake to be an early choice to make after Culinary Quest #3 is concluded. Prep time was not given & was estimated by me. ENJOY!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Beat the egg yolks, orange juice, sugar & oil in a lrg bowl. Add the flour & baking powder (a little at a time), mixing well after each addition.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to form stiff peaks & gently fold them into the batter until blended.

Step 3

Pour the batter into a greased & lightly floured bundt pan.

Step 4

Cut the bananas into thin coins & place slices over the entire top of the batter.

Step 5

Combine 1/4 cup sugar w/1 tbsp grd cinnamon & sprinkle the mixture atop the banana covered batter.

Step 6

Bake in preheated oven at 350F for approx 45 min until golden.

Step 7

Allow to cool slightly & then remove the cake from the pan to fully cool.

NOTE: Although not a part of the recipe, I tend to always do a wooden skewer test & suggest it for this cake.

Very good -- we really enjoyed this cake even though it didn't come out of the pan in one piece -- our fault! But we did enjoy it anyways -- and it stayed moist for breakfast the next day too! Thanks for sharing!
