    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

    2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and ground walnuts.

    3

    In another bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the oil and vanilla sugar and mix well.

    4

    Mash the ripe bananas and stir them into the egg mixture.

    5

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, mixing until just combined.

    6

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    7

    While the cake is baking, prepare the cream: whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in the mascarpone and powdered sugar.

    8

    Let the cake cool completely, then evenly spread the mascarpone cream over the top.

    9

    Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and thin banana slices, then refrigerate for another hour.

    Slice and serve, and enjoy the soft, walnut-rich banana cake!
