Instruction manual
1
In a separate bowl, cut the strawberries (about 3 cups enough) into small pieces. You can do this with a blender. In another bowl, chop the pineapple in the same way as strawberries.
2
Prepare the cake dough from the cake mix according to the instructions on the package. Add banana puree to it and mix, divide into 3 equal parts.
3
Take 2 tablespoons of chopped pineapples and set aside (you should use them for decoration when the banana cake is ready). Add the remaining pineapples to one part of the dough and mix.
4
In the same way, set aside 2 tablespoons of strawberries, and mix the rest of the berry with the second part of the dough.
5
Add about 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the third part of the dough (the amount depends on how much chocolate dough you want to make) and mix well. The banana cake, the recipe of which is described in this article, should not turn out to be bitter.
6
Oil 3 baking dishes and sprinkle with flour. Pour one part of the dough into each of them and bake in accordance with the instructions for preparing a semi-finished product (on average, about 30-35 minutes).
7
Prepare the vanilla glaze and divide it into 3 bowls. Put pineapple in 1 bowl and mix with a spoon or knife.
Mix the strawberries with the icing in the second bowl, add a tablespoon (more or less to taste) of the cocoa powder to the rest of the icing.
8
When the cakes are ready, take a knife and trim the edges evenly, and then let them cool. When the cakes become cold, put the strawberry cakes on a plate and cover with strawberry icing on top. Lay a chocolate layer on top of it and brush with chocolate. Finally, lay a pineapple layer and brush it with pineapple glaze.
9
Grease the finished banana cake on all sides with the remaining icing. You can also sprinkle it with chopped nuts or chopped chocolate for decoration. The most important thing is that the glaze does not crumble ahead of time.
note
If you use canned pineapple or strawberries, drain the juice first.
Useful advice
Ripe bananas can replace some eggs. For example, if the instructions for preparing a semi-finished product require using 6 eggs, you can add only 2 (if you wish, you can cook a banana cake without any eggs at all).
