The whole spelt cake with strawberries and bananas is a dessert made with whole spelt flour and has a distinctive, intense flavor.
Spelt flour (spelt) contains fewer sugars than common wheat flour, which makes it much easier to digest and particularly suitable for preparing bread, pastries and pasta.
It has a distinctive, intense aroma, almost like dried fruit or nuts; the most prized variety comes from the Garfagnana area of Tuscany and has obtained the IGP mark.
This cake MADE WITH WHOLE FLOUR contains slices of banana inside and is decorated on the surface, as you can see, with firm ripe strawberries cut into wedges — follow along as we prepare this delicious whole spelt cake with strawberries and bananas!

Peel the banana, slice it into not-too-thin rounds and toss them with the juice of the remaining lemon.
Sweeten both the banana slices and the strawberries with a little honey and place the fruit in the refrigerator.
Sift the whole spelt flour with the all-purpose flour and the baking powder. Melt the butter.
Beat the eggs with the sugar, adding the grated lemon zest.
When you have a light and frothy mixture, gradually add the sifted dry ingredients, alternating with melted butter and milk.
Finally add the banana slices, folding them into the batter.
