KOMPAS.com – Banana cake is one of my favorite snacks because of its soft texture and naturally sweet taste.
With simple and easy to find ingredients, banana cake can be prepared for various events, from afternoon snacks to special dishes for guests.
Making banana cake doesn’t require a lot of sophisticated equipment, it can even be made without a mixer.
The most important thing is to choose quality ingredients, especially bananas that are perfectly ripe, so that the aroma and sweet taste are more pronounced.
The following are the main ingredients for making soft and delicious banana cake.
1. Ripe Bananas
Ripe bananas are the main ingredient that gives sponge cake its distinctive taste and aroma. Use types of bananas such as Ambon, Raja or Cavendish bananas which are soft and sweet.
2. Wheat Flour
Use medium protein or all-purpose wheat flour to produce a soft sponge cake texture. Mix with other ingredients such as powdered milk to add flavor.
3. Granulated Sugar
Granulated sugar gives the cake a sweet taste. Combine with brown sugar if you want a richer taste and caramel aroma.
4. Chicken Eggs
The egg functions as a binder for the dough and helps the sponge cake rise perfectly. Use room temperature eggs to make the dough easier to work with.
5. Butter or Margarine
Melt butter or margarine before mixing it into the dough to give it a savory taste and soft texture.
6. Baking Powder and Baking Soda
These two ingredients function to help the dough rise and give it a light texture.
7. Liquid Milk or Powdered Milk
Add liquid or powdered milk to the mixture for a richer taste. Milk also helps keep the cake moist.
8. Vanilla Essence
Vanilla provides a fragrant aroma that perfects the taste of banana cake.
Tips for Choosing Quality Ingredients for Banana Cake
- Choose very ripe bananas. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more aromatic the cake will be.
- Use quality butter. If you want a richer taste, add a little premium butter like Wysman.
- Pay attention to the proportions of ingredients. Make sure all ingredients are measured correctly for perfect texture results.
