Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork until you obtain a smooth, lump-free purée.
- 2
Add the eggs and skimmed milk, then mix vigorously until fully combined.
- 3
Gradually fold in the sifted oat flour and cocoa powder with a spatula, stirring until the batter is smooth and uniform.
- 4
Stir in the raisins and cinnamon to taste.
- 5
Add the baking powder last and mix only until just incorporated — do not over-mix.
- 6
Pour the batter into a silicone mould (no greasing needed) and place it in the air fryer basket.
- 7
Cook at 160 °C (320 °F) for 25 to 30 minutes. Test doneness with a toothpick inserted in the centre — it should come out clean.
- 8
Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature before unmoulding to keep its moist texture.
💡 Chef's Tip
For an extra indulgent finish, melt a few squares of 70% dark chocolate and drizzle over the cooled cake. You can also swap the raisins for chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips for added crunch.
