Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 200 grams almond flour
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Peel the bananas and mash them in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the lemon zest and orange juice, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Then, gently fold in the mashed banana mixture until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the torte from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy your Banana Citrus Almond Torte!
