🍌 hiapjoo DUPE banana cake recipe?? 🍌

Ok so I've been scouring the internet trying to recreate the viral Hiap Joo banana cake recipe and I gotta say, while it's NOT as good and authentic and almost wokhei-ed like Hiap Joo's, this recipe still yields a pretty bomb af cake, so make this if you wish HAHA 🍌🥹

NOTES: I used a 7 inch cake pan, and baked it for longer because of the height, but this works best with a 9x9inch square pan.

• 4-5 huge overripe bananas (measured to be about 400g) - mash these but leave em chunky

• 5 eggs (separated into yolk and whites in separate bowls)

• 200g fine sugar (or caster, don't use chunky sugar)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste/extract

• 1/2 tsp banana extract (optional)

• 170g Veg Oil

• 300g Cake Flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

🍌 Preheat your oven to 160C. My oven has a fan setting and I turned that on!

🍌 Mix your egg yolks, extracts and oil together in a bowl and set aside.

🍌 Chill your egg whites and sugar in the mixing bowl, I like to freeze it slightly. This creates smaller air bubbles and a nicer and more stable meringue.

Whip this up to soft peaks before whipping the bananas in it too, on high speed until it's super thick, around 2 minutes.

🍌 Add in your oil and egg yolk mixture while it's on it's lowest setting and mix till incorporated. Do the same with the sifted dry ingredients, and don't overmix - just until the clumps are no longer seen and when you mix it with your spatula or spoon, you don't see streaks of flour.

🍌 Pour into your desired tins and bake at 160C for 45-60 minutes if making a whole cake. For cupcakes, bake for 18-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

This is truly #MyGoTo comfort bake whenever I'm feeling down and it's incredibly easy, and goes well with my coffee in the morning too! I normally have all these ingredients on hand anyway, so this was a nice way to use up my old bananas!
