Babovka

Babovka is a traditional czech recipe that is a cross between pound cake and angel food cake. I really like double color with raisins...I remember, if I was a child, I always ate the light part first and then the dark - how it say...the best in the end. And I make it now too....

You will need
3 cups plain flour
2 cups non-dairy milk (I used Alpro Vanilla milk)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 bananas, mashed
2 tsp baking powder
cocoa powder, sultanas...

Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. In a large bowl stir the flour, brown sugar and baking powder. In a small bowl mix the mashed bananas with oil and milk. Mix the dry and wet ingredients until smooth. Take a babovka form or bundt ring cake and if you haven't silicone type, is good to grease it with butter and sprinkle with flour. Pour a half of dough into the form. Mix cocoa powder to the second half, add a splash of milk and mix until smooth. Mix sultanas and pour over the light dough. Bake about 40-50 minutes. Cool upside down (the babovka cake is falling down) and serve. Enjoy.

If you don't like cocoa, you can't use it...mix the dried fruit (sultanas, raisin, candied peel...) into the light dough and bake
