Caramelised Banana Chiffon Cake 焦糖香蕉戚风蛋糕 LTU #15

Feel extremely tire recently, everyday just feel so sleepy, I need a break!

Recipe adapted from Butter, Flour And Me.

 Ingredients : for 20 cm chiffon cake pan

5 egg yolk

40g gula melaka

1g salt (I forgot to add lol)

15g corn oil

15g coconut oil

200g banana, mashed (I put 220g)

90g cake flour

10g corn flour

5 egg whites

40g caster sugar (I cut down to 35g)

1/2 tsp lemon juice / vinegar

Method :

 1. Caramelised gula melaka in a non stick pan on low heat. Add in mashed banana and mix well, set aside.

2. Whisk the egg yolks till creamy, add in oil and banana puree and mix well.

3. Add in cake flour and corn flour, whisk till no trace of flour and set aside.

4. In another bowl, beat the egg whites and lemon juice/vinegar till frothy. Add in sugar gradually and beat until approaching stiff peaks (meringue stand straight with a little curve at the tip) or till stiff peaks (this stage is a bit difficult to fold with egg yolk mixture). 

5. Use whisk to loosen the egg yolk batter a bit, then take 1/3 of meringue and use a hand whisk to mix well with egg yolk batter.

6. Fold in 1/2 of meringue and use a silicone spatula, gently fold with egg yolk batter till slightly combined. Fold in the balance meringue and gently fold till well combined.

7. Pour the batter from a considerable height into cake pan, lightly shake it left and right to level the cake, then gently bang the cake pan on the table top to release air bubbles. 

8. Bake at pre-heated oven at 150C at center rack for 25 mins and 160C for 15-20 mins. (I off the top heat element and on it back during the last 15 mins)

9. Remove the cake pan from oven, drop it from high side to prevent the cake shrink too much during cool process.

10. Turn the cake pan upside down and cool completely before remove from the cake pan. 

Verdict?

The cake is soft and moist, full of banana fragrance, delicious too and the sweetness just nice for me.
