Delicious banana cake (without eggs and butter) / takes about 35~45mins
We can make it very quickly, so preheat the oven first to 170℃/338℉.
Prepare ripe bananas. Can also use unripe banana, but it can be a less sweet :)
Bananas are often left at home, but it's a good recipe to use in that case😃
Needs 190g of banana
It's about 1+2/3 medium-sized bananas, but measure and use 190g exactly.
Fun time! Mash it with a fork!
I've made a lot of banana cakes, but I've always enjoyed this work. This texture and feeling..^^
Ripe bananas can be crushed well. Crush it well until it's almost porridge.
Crush it until it feels like porridge like this.
I'll add brown sugar that goes well with bananas.
(White sugar is okay, but the color comes out lighter. I'll show you how the result looks at the end of the video)
💬 Q: Can I reduce sugar? A: can reduce it, but the taste will be down :)
Mix evenly using a whisk
If there are sugar clumps that doesn't dissolve
Get rid of that clumps
Press it!
Add salt as well. Even if it's a cake, it's more delicious with a little salt ^^
1/8 tsp or 8 pinches (approximately 0.5 g).
Do whatever you feel easy ^^
Next is milk. Can use soy milk or almond milk as well :)
It's vanilla extract. If you don't have this, just add the same amount of milk.
(When using vanilla oil: After adding a few drops, add more milk to adjust the total liquid amount)
The point is to match the total amount of liquid (moisture amount) :)
I'm going to add oil. Of course, you can use melted butter.
(Butter is also good, but personally, when I made it with oil, I feel more banana’s taste😉)
Mix it like a millstone until it is completely mixed with a whisk.
The oil and moisture must be completely mixed like this
Now, it’s all mixed well
The wet ingredients are done, I'll add the dry ingredients and mix. (It's a really easy and quick recipe..^^)
Sift and add baking powder.
* Tip: What if 'I measured it correctly, but my cake doesn't swell well'? *
* Should check if the baking powder is too old ^^ *
Add cake flour. For a light texture, I'm going to use cake flour today.
It's almond powder = ground almond
If you don't have it, you can use the same amount of cake flour, but it will be less moist...^^
I'll add cinnamon powder as well (can make it without cinnamon)
Since it is in a small amount, it hardly tastes cinnamon when I eat.
However, if you add it, the taste will increase..^^ The power of cinnamon! Isn't it amazing?
If you are not a big cinnamon hater😝, be sure to add it in :)
Sift through a sieve
Cake flour and almond powder tend to be clumps well, so you must sift it through a sieve when making a cake.
Mix it by drawing 11 characters with a spatula. In the middle, scrape the wall and bottom.
The reason for mixing in this way is to suppress the formation of gluten as much as possible.
In that case, it is because it is finished with a light and soft texture.
** If you want to add the filling (walnut, etc., 40g is recommended), add it when you see the flour as it is now 😎 **
Now it's almost all mixed up. You can see very little flour. Mix more ~
As it is now, when the flour is no longer visible, stop mixing immediately.
When it’s over mixed, gluten is formed and it becomes a hard cake...^^
Use pans you already have
I'll use 3 muffin cups and 1 small square pan.
👉Q:I don’t have same pans with you A: You can use other pans. Please watch the video until the end🙂
Put it in muffin cups with a spoon
Drop it slightly to make sure there are no empty spaces in the muffin cup.
Leave about 3mm from the top to make it bake in a nice and beautiful shape.
Make it even with your fingers
I'll pour all the remaining dough into the square pan
In this way, you can divide and put the cake batter depends your situation.
Make it even. That way, the shape will look pretty when it's baked, right?
Finish like this
Optional) Cut the remaining bananas into thin slices of about 2mm and use as a decoration.
Put it on top to decorate it
Garnish with chopped pistachio on the edge.
Bake it in an oven preheated to 170℃/338℉ / Muffins : about 20~22mins. Square pan : about 30~32mins.
Even if you use a different pans, you don't have to worry. I will show you how to check it..^^
After 21mins. I'll stab middle of cake with skewers or chopsticks to see if it's well cooked.
It's clean. The muffins are completely cooked.
The square pan, the batter came out from the inside. It means it’s not cooked yet.
Return to the oven and bake for another 10mins.
⭐You can bake your own cake with any pans if you check the level of cooking with a skewer test like this ^^
Remove muffins from the pan right away so that they do not dry out. (Be careful of hotness)
Another 10mins passed, and the square cake is all cooked.
Drop it a little to let out the water vapor, and let me check it with a skewer...
The dough doesn't come out and it's clean. This means that it is well cooked :)
Take the cake away from the pan right away so that it doesn't dry out
I'll eat it after it cools 99%. You can eat it when it's warm, but it crushes easily.
Delicious Banana Cake is done! Why does it taste better than a cake with eggs and butter? 😝
It's a moist and soft texture like this
I wanted to make this recipe with a good balance of taste, and anyone can make it.
If you have bananas, try transforming them into a nice cake..^^
This is a video of the result made with white sugar + No almond powder.
Made with white sugar, the color is lighter, and it doesn't contain almond powder, comes heavier texture..^^
Everyone, thanks you for being with me today ❤
