Banana cake with raisins and almonds is a delicate, fragrant pastry that embodies the warmth of home cooking. Originating from European culinary tradition, this cake combines the sweetness of ripe bananas, caramel notes of brown sugar, and a light nutty crunch from almonds. Raisins add pleasant juiciness, while yogurt gives the batter airiness and softness. This cake is perfect for morning coffee or cozy tea time. It can be served warm when the nut crumble is still slightly crunchy or left for a day to let the flavors deepen further. Versatile and easy to make, it will become a favorite dessert for the whole family.
