Yield: 15
Ingredients: 5 eggs; 200 g granulated sugar; 125 ml oil; 125 ml water; 250 g plain flour; 1 packet baking powder; 3 tablespoons cocoa; 250 g soft quark (tvaroh); 250 ml whipping cream; 500 ml milk; 1 packet vanilla pudding; 100 g granulated sugar; 100 g softened butter; 8 bananas; chocolate glaze (ready-made glaze or melted dark chocolate with a tablespoon of oil)

Preparation procedure

Cocoa sponge Separate the eggs into whites and yolks. Beat the yolks with the sugar until thick and foamy. Gradually add the oil and water, continuing to beat. Fold in the flour, baking powder and cocoa. Finally, gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Spread the batter onto a baking tray (approx. 30 × 40 cm) lined with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C for 20–25 minutes. Let cool completely.
Cream From the milk, pudding and sugar, cook a thick pudding and let it cool to room temperature. Beat the butter until fluffy and mix in the quark. Gradually work in the cooled pudding. Whip the cream separately until stiff and gently fold into the cream.
Assembling the dessert Slice the bananas into thicker slices and evenly cover the cooled sponge with them. Spread the quark cream over the bananas and smooth it. Pour over the chocolate glaze and chill for 2–3 hours so the cream and glaze set.
Serving Cut into slices of the desired size and serve chilled.
