Louisiana’s banana and walnut cake

I imagined it would be heavy cake- I was wrong! It comes out a light pound cake with a nice banana aroma. Crunchy coco flakes and slightly roasted walnuts are just a brilliant addition to this cake. Just one bit will take you to the sunny New Orleans!

Because of the fruit the cake can be stored for a few days and keeps its moisture.

2 cups wheat flour

¼ cup corn flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon nutmeg
7 oz (200 g) soft butter

3 eggs
