Ingredients to make carob cake and almonds:
1. The first step to start preparing the carob cake recipe is to beat the eggs and sugar for 2-3 minutes. Apart, crush bananas and add them to the mixture of eggs and sugar, along with the oil and continue beating.
2. In a separate container mix the remaining ingredients, that is, wheat flour, carob flour, cocoa powder, toasted almond bread, salt and baking powder. Mix and add the preparation to the previous mass. Incorporate these ingredients very well with one of a wooden spatula or spoon.
Trick: I have added cocoa to the recipe so that the cake has a slight taste of this ingredient, but if you prefer you can delete it from the list.
3. Pour the mass of the carob cake into a previously greased and floured mold. Preheat the oven to 180ºC and, when it is hot, bake the cake for 25-30 minutes, or until when you puncture it with a stick it comes out clean.
4. When the carob sponge cake and almonds are ready, remove it from the oven, let it cool, pull it out of the mold and cut it into slices to serve it. If you want, you can do like me and decorate it with Glass sugar. Leave us your comment and what do you think about the cake recipe!
