Meina's exotic banana cake

This cake is the most amazing banana cake I ever tasted. The recipe was given to me by my dear friend Meina and altered by me, so it is only fare to name it after her ;)

You can eat it plain, or use it as base a cake with icing.

Bake in pre-warmed over, with air, for about 45-55 minutes, 180C and let it cool down. Now you can start working on the icing.

ingredients for the mon-chou gream

• 400 gr mon chou
• 360ml water
• 80 gr powder sugar
• 160 gr butter cream mix

instructions for the mon-chou cream

1. Beat the mon-chou for  a couple of minutes.
2. In the meanwhile add the sugar to the water and whisk.
3. Add the butter cream mix to the water & sugar mix.
4. Add the mix to the mon-chu and let the machine beat until the mix becomes uniform. 
5. Put in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Cut the cake in two layers, spread the mon-chu cream and eventually sprinkle some chocolate flakes, to give a crunchy effect when taking a bite ;)

Use the rest of the icing to cover the cake and sprinkle some sprinkles to cheer it up.
