Passover Banana Cake with

Marsala–Fresh Fruit Relish

Joel Lafond, Executive Chef with the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue Catering Department

 

Cake Ingredients

7 Eggs, separated
250 ml (1 cup) Sugar
1.25 ml (1/4 tsp) Salt
375 ml (1-1/2 cups) Ripe Bananas, mashed (approximately 3 bananas)
188 ml (3/4 cup) Matzo Cake Flour
63 ml (1/4 cup) Potato Flour
188 ml (3/4 cup) Pecans, chopped

 

Method

Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar until light in colour an fluffy. In a separate bowl, hand whisk bananas to produce a nearly smooth purée. Mix into bananas the salt, cake and potato flours. Do not over mix. Add banana mixture to yolks and sugar and combine. Scrape the sides of the bowl as necessary with a rubber spatula. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside. Using the whisk attachment, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt in a clean, dry electric mixer until a stiff peak forms. Gently fold in the banana batter. Fold in the nuts and carefully pour into a greased bundt mold. Bake 45 to 55 minutes in a 170º C (325 º F) oven, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool before removing from bundt pan.

 

Marsala – Fresh Fruit Relish Ingredients (Yield: 500 ml – 2 cups)

125 ml (1/2 cup) Marsala Wine or Sweet Red Wine
63 ml (1/4 cup) Sugar
0.5 litres (1 pint) Fresh Strawberries, hulled and halved
2 Bananas, sliced
125 ml (1/2 cup) Pecans, toasted and chopped

 

Method

In a medium bowl, combine the Marsala wine, sugar, fruit and nuts. Gently mix to combine. Allow to macerate at least 15 minutes for flavours to combine and fruit syrup to form. Add more sugar if a sweeter relish is desired. Spoon relish over slices of banana cake with a drizzle of the remaining fruit syrup.
