Torta de Plátano (Banana Cake)

Torta de Plátano
  • bananas - 10 (brown?)
  • 12 eggs
  • 1/2 kilo sugar (4 cups)
  • 1/4 kilo flour (2 cups)
  • maizena (200g) - corn flour (1.5 cups)
  • mandioca (chuño) -200g - potato flour (1.5 cups)
  • veggie oil - 1/4 liter (1 cup)
  • 1 tsp yeast
  • 1/2 cup yogurt

1) egg yolks in one bowl, egg whites in another (mix until soft peaks and set aside)
2) mash bananas
3) sugar + egg yolks + oil (mix well)
4) Add yogurt (or milk). Add bananas + flour
5) mix egg whites again to get soft peaks
6) add egg whites to main mixture, fold in
7) 380 F, 1 hour, grease pan

This makes a huge amount (maybe a 16 x 28 in. pan?) so divide ingredients accordingly.  Also not sure if corn/potato flour exists in the states.  However, make this. It makes slices of heaven.
