How to make banana cream cheese cake: tips and tricks

  • You can replace cornstarch in the sponge cake with the same amount of flour. However, cornstarch makes the sponge cake taste softer.
  • You can soak the sponge cake with a simple sugar syrup if you want it to be moister.
  • To bake the sponge cake, you will need a Ø 24 cm baking springform pan.
  • Make a stick test to check if the sponge cake is done baking. To do this, insert a wooden skewer briefly into the center of the sponge cake and see if it comes out clean. Alternatively, you can gently press on the surface of the sponge cake with a finger about halfway down. If it springs back after you press it and no marks remain, it’s done.
  • Let the sponge cake rest for at least 3 hours after baking. After that, it is easier to slice into cake layers.
  • The cream cheese and cream for the cream must be cold so that they can be whipped well.
  • You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar for the cream to taste.
