Cake
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. The French were the ones who started adding gelatin to this cake to enhance its appearance. If you're planning to make the cake just for yourself, not for a festive occasion, there's no need to bother with the gelatin cream. The cake turns out very tasty and tender. The baked good is ready. Serve it at the table.

7. Now spread half of the cream onto the cake layer. Slice the bananas into rounds, arrange them in a single layer on top, then spread the remaining caramel cream over them. Smooth everything out with a spatula, cover with the second cake layer, and soak it with the coffee-liqueur syrup, as well as the chocolate paste.
