Jenny’s Queque de Plantano – Peruvian Banana Bread
Pane-Bistecca
Jenny’s Queque de Plantano took part in the Culinary World Tour to Peru and immediately caught my eye, as I very often receive plantain/cooking bananas from my cleaning lady. I have used them in different dishes, in different ways of cooking, but I didn’t know that they could also be used in cakes. Well, Jenny enlightened me and I am grateful to her.
I’ve made 2 small cakes out of it and will give one to my cleaning lady, she’ll be delighted!
