Oat and Banana Cake – Pareve version

👨‍🍳 Method

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 175°C (345°F) and grease Bread pan.

   ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven

   💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2. 2
   Mash the bananas with a fork until smooth.
3. 3
   Whisk the eggs and honey until smooth.

   💡Fold with a spatula, in broad strokes from the bottom up, and stop when there's no dry flour: vigorous mixing of a batter with flour develops gluten.

   💡A cake with honey browns quickly: if the top darkens before the toothpick comes out clean, cover it with foil for the rest of the baking.

   💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
