How to Make Banana Cake With Walnuts Vietnamese Chuoi Nuong

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and flour two 20cm (8-inch) round baking pans.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs and 175g granulated sugar with an electric mixer on low speed until pale and thick (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add 120ml heavy cream and beat for another 30 seconds.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together 200g all-purpose flour and 1 tsp baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  5. Peel 4 ripe bananas and coarsely mash them with a fork (do not over-mash). In a small bowl, combine the mashed bananas with 100g chopped walnuts, 60ml coconut milk, and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon.
  6. Gently fold the banana mixture into the batter until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
