How to Make Asian Banana Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 200g all-purpose flour and 4 tsp baking powder. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs and 175g granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Add 200g mashed Pisang Mas bananas (about 2-3 medium bananas, peeled and mashed) to the egg mixture. Beat with the electric mixer until very thick and creamy (about 8-10 minutes).
  6. Gently fold in the dry ingredients (flour mixture) using a hand whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 tsp banana extract and 100ml vegetable oil. Mix until well incorporated.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness at 35 minutes.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
