Banana Chiffon Cake
Method:
- Preheat oven to 140C. Use a small food processor to process the bananas into paste. Set aside.
- Whisk the egg yolks with sugar until smooth and light yellow. Add oil, milk and mashed bananas. Combine very well. Shift in cake flour, incorporate all ingredients well until you get a smooth batter.
- Use an electric mixer to beat egg whites first for a while until bubbles form. Add cream of tartar. Add one third of sugar at a time. Combine well between the adds, until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in the egg whites into the batter. Add one third of egg whites at a time in order to easily incorporate the egg whites.
- Transfer the batter into the cake mould that shouldn’t be non-stick or greased. (The mould you use is very important to get the best result. It helps the cake avoid from shrinking too much after removing from the oven, once the temperature drops.) Pop in the preheated oven and bake 140C for 45 minutes then 160C for 15 minutes. Test it by an inserted needle coming out clean. Remove from oven and immediately revert the cake mould upside down on a wire rack. Let it cool completely. Carefully remove from the cake mould with sharp knife.
