Directions

50 min
  1. 1

    Prepare 3 M to L size eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Add 100g banana (1 medium banana) to the bowl with egg yolks.

  2. 2

    Gently mash the banana with a fork, whisk together with the egg yolk, and add 1/3 of the 70g sugar. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  4. 4

    Slowly add 30cc water and 50cc vegetable oil while mixing well.

  5. 5

    Sift and add 60g cake flour all at once. Whisk until the mixture reaches a consistency similar to thin tempura batter.

  6. 6

    Add the remaining 70g sugar to the egg whites in 3 portions. Beat at high speed until stiff peaks form. Handle gently and beat until peaks stand straight up.

  7. 7

    Mix 1/4 of the meringue into the egg yolk mixture using a whisk until well combined.

  8. 8

    Add 1/2 of the remaining meringue and fold together, aiming to blend the upper portion of the batter first, then fold in the bottom portion.

  9. 9

    Add the remaining meringue. Mix from the top, breaking up any lumps of egg white, then switch to a spatula and fold from the bottom.

  10. 10

    Pour the batter into the pan. Hold the center tube firmly and tap gently to remove air bubbles. Insert a chopstick and make 2-3 circular motions.

  11. 11

    Use a spatula to scrape batter up the inside of the pan and smooth the surface.

  12. 12

    Bake at 180°C for 8 minutes, then use a knife to make 5 shallow cuts across the surface.

  13. 13

    Bake at 160°C for 25 minutes (total 33 minutes).

  14. 14

    Once baked, invert the pan onto a mug to cool.

  15. 15

    After about 1 hour of cooling, carefully remove from the pan using a knife or bamboo skewer. Release the outer edge, then the center tube, and finally the bottom in that order.

Tips

For electric ovens, preheat to 190-200°C and bake at 180°C for 6 minutes, then at 160°C for 30 minutes as a guide. Once the cake browns, place aluminum foil on top and extend baking time by 5 minutes at a time to cook the sides evenly. When removing from the pan, press the knife against the pan edge and carefully slide it around to release the cake.
