First, prepare the caramel filling
Hydrate the gelatin in cold water
In a saucepan, combine half of the heavy cream with the flour, cinnamon stick, and orange rind
Heat until it's warm
Strain through a sieve and add the hydrated gelatin
Stir until dissolved
Add the ground cinnamon and let it cool
Beat the remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks form and mix it into the gelatin mixture
Place the mixture in a bowl that fits inside the ring mold of the angel food cake pan and refrigerate until set
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170°C (moderate)
In a blender, beat the egg whites until fluffy
Add the flour, potato starch, banana flour, melted butter, and grated orange zest
Beat for a few minutes more, then add the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and banana slices
Beat until well combined
Grease an angel food cake pan with 25 centimeters in diameter and dust it with laminated banana slices
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown
Let it cool, then loosen the cake from the pan using a sharp knife without a point
Flip it onto a plate
Place the caramel filling in the center and serve.
