Didu’s Banana Cake

Ingredients:

  • Banana paste (1 cup – mash about 2 medium bananas)
  • Sugar (¾  cup)
  • Eggs (2)
  • Butter/Oil (½  cup – I use butter)
  • Flour (1 ¼ cups)
  • Baking powder (1 tsp)
  • Baking soda (1 tsp)
  • Dark Chocolate (optional)

Cooking Method:

  1. Separate the egg yolks from the whites
  2. Mix all ingredients together except the egg whites and whip to thoroughly mix
  3. Beat the egg whites together and add to the mixture
  4. If you’d like melt quarter cup of dark chocolate and add to the mixture. I melted the chocolate by placing it in a cup in a larger bowl of hot water.
  5. Whisk everything together and pour into a square (9×9 “) baking dish to bake at 350F for 40 mins

(Every oven is different, so the time and temperature may vary – so best to use your judgement. In Japan, we used 170C for 25 mins)
