Banana Cake

Peel the bananas and cut them in half lengthwise

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and olive oil in a skillet and fry the banana slices until golden brown

Drain on paper towels

Arrange the fried banana slices in a medium-sized baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon

Beat the egg yolks with the remaining butter until light and fluffy, then place over the bananas

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold into the flour and add to the banana mixture

Place the meringue-topped cake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned

Serve warm or chilled
