| 1 cup | 237ml | Bananas (small) |
| 3 oz | 85g | Bittersweet chocolate |
| 1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Cake flour * |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Milk |
| 3/4 cup | 148g / 5.2oz | Sugar |
| 1 cup | 237ml | Crme patissi re |
| 1 | Follows | |

* Sift and measure cake flour.
Butter two, 8 in. round pans. Line them with wax paper, butter the paper and flour the pans. Place two bananas and the milk in a electric blender or food processor. Blend at low speed until homogenized. Set aside.
In top of a double boiler, over hot, but not simmering water, melt the chocolate. Set aside. Preheat oven to 325F. Beat egg whites with 1/2 cup sugar until peaks keep their shape. Set aside. Beat the yolks with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar until thick and ribbon-like.
Fold the bananas and the chocolate into the beaten egg yolk. Alternately, a third at a time, fold the beaten egg whites and the flour into the chocolate mixture.
Mix only until smooth. Do not over-mix. Divide batter equally between the prepared pans and bake in the pr-heated, 325F. oven until a knife inserted into the centre comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool two minutes in the pans, then gently invert on a cooling rack. When cool, split each layer.
Peel and cut three bananas into 1/8 in. segments. Place banana slices on the cream. Assemble the cake with the cream and banana slices between layers.
Sprinkle the top with confectioners' sugar.
