🛒 Ingredients

✓ 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
✓ 1/4 cup cornstarch
✓ 1 tsp baking powder
✓ 1/4 tsp sea salt
✓ 2 large eggs
✓ 1/4 cup granulated sugar
✓ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✓ 2 tbsp whole milk
✓ 1/2 cup reduced-fat evaporated milk
✓ 1/4 cup low-fat sweetened condensed milk
✓ 1/4 cup whole milk
✓ 3/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1 large banana (for brûléeing)
✓ 1 tbsp coconut sugar (for brûlée)
✓ 1 tbsp unsalted butter
✓ 1/2 tsp cinnamon

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake Base: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat eggs with granulated sugar for 3 minutes until pale and fluffy. Fold in vanilla extract and milk gently.

3. Combine Dry & Wet: Fold dry ingredients into egg mixture in two batches, mixing until just combined—do not overmix.

4. Bake the Cake: Pour batter into a greased 6-inch cake pan or small baking dish. Bake for 20–25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes.

5. Prepare the Three-Milk Mixture: Whisk together reduced-fat evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk in a jug. Pierce the warm cake all over with a fork and slowly pour the mixture over until absorbed. Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

6. Make the Greek Yogurt Topping: Fold Greek yogurt into any remaining three-milk mixture (reserve 2 tbsp if available) to create a light, mousse-like layer. Spread gently over chilled cake.

7. Brûlée the Banana: Slice banana into 1/4-inch rounds. Arrange overlapping on top of yogurt layer. Sprinkle evenly with coconut sugar.

8. Torch the Top: Using a kitchen torch, carefully melt and caramelize the sugar until deep golden and crackling, 45–60 seconds per section. Serve immediately or chill 30 minutes before plating.
