01:07.0
I will give you a bit of lecture on this.
01:10.0
So first, if you want a good banana cake or a really good banana cake.
01:17.5
You want to start with very ripe bananas.
01:26.0
I go to the grocery store and I buy the bananas that are on sale.
01:32.5
If there are no bananas that are on sale, you buy it already and then you let it ripen.
01:40.0
You let it overripe in your kitchen counter.
01:44.5
Where is the hottest place in your kitchen, that's where it's best to let the bananas overripe.
01:51.5
This one, about 2 days, it's already like this.
01:55.5
Now, I understand.
01:58.0
There are a lot of us, right?
02:00.0
I am including myself.
02:01.5
I am thinking that if I want to make a banana cake right now.
02:05.0
How can I let the bananas overripe like that?
02:08.5
You microwave it for 30 seconds.
02:12.0
It would be mushy.
02:13.0
This is the banana that you want.
02:15.5
The one that is super soft, the one that is almost mushy.
02:19.5
It shouldn't have that off smell, it shouldn't have that rotten smell.
02:25.0
But this one, this is just perfect.
02:28.0
This is Lakatan Bananas and this is Plantains or they call it as Caven Dish.
02:35.0
So per recipe, I will be needing 500 grams of peeled bananas.
02:41.5
I didn't cut the bananas because it's hard to do that.
02:47.0
It's also hard to purpose because as you can see, this one is too big.
02:52.0
This one is just medium and we can also buy a smaller one.
02:55.5
So it's better to weigh it, to measure it by grams.
03:00.0
So there, those are just okay, see?
03:02.5
Actually, that will make your banana cake more delicious.
03:06.0
So we just need 500 grams of bananas.
03:16.5
I think it's 30 grams there.
03:22.0
Don't stress yourself on that.
03:24.0
It's already okay that you are over 25 grams.
03:29.0
No problem at all.
03:33.0
Now, when you have 500 grams of bananas, you put your brown sugar.
03:39.0
You put your brown sugar there already and white sugar.
03:43.0
Why am I putting those two together?
03:45.0
I like the brown sugar for the color and the white sugar for the sweetness.
03:50.0
And this is baking soda, I will also put my baking soda there already.
04:08.0
You just beat it until it mashes.
04:16.0
So once you see that your bananas have mashed already.
04:21.0
You can now put your flour.
04:23.0
So this is just all-purpose flour, you just put it there.
04:28.0
And you also put the oil already.
04:32.5
And then you turn on the mixer once again.
04:36.0
So my banana cake, I don't put cinnamon powder on it.
04:40.5
I don't put anything on it
04:42.5
because I will get the textures and the added flavors from my crumble.
04:50.5
I'll just keep this one plain.
04:56.5
Okay, you just beat it until smooth.
05:01.5
This is already our banana cake mixture.
05:06.5
How easy is that?
05:07.5
You want to put chocolate chips?
05:11.0
And then you set it aside, let's make the crumble.
05:14.5
For the crumble, you will be needing all-purpose flour.
05:18.5
So I have here all-purpose flour into my bowl.
05:26.5
A bit of white sugar.
05:29.5
And I have here salted butter.
05:39.5
So this one, you're just gonna do it manually until it turns into a crumble.
05:45.5
You can also call this a streusel.
05:49.5
The one that you're more happy with, that's what you call it.
05:52.5
My crumble is already okay.
05:54.0
Because streusel, it seems like it's a bit confusing.
05:59.5
What did you put?
06:00.5
It all sounds more homemade.
06:05.0
So there, it's just that quick.
06:06.5
You just crumble it literally and I smell the cinnamon.
06:13.5
Okay and now, we are ready to assemble.
06:21.5
You pour your banana cake batter on the pan first.
06:26.5
I have here an 8x8 square pan that I've lined with parchment paper.
06:33.5
Then just left a bit of vegetable oil shortening.
06:36.5
You can also use butter.
06:38.5
Of course, you may also bake this on a round pan.
06:41.5
On muffin pans, on bundt pans.
06:44.5
On the pan that will make you happy, that's where you pour it.
06:50.5
You just pour it.
06:53.5
Okay and then, like that.
06:57.5
You just scrape it like that.
07:00.5
And then now, it's time for us to put the crumble.
07:05.5
I always taste it.
07:12.5
Now, the crumble.
07:14.5
This is how you put the crumble.
07:16.5
You will really pour it all there and then you press it lightly
07:21.5
so that it won't fall off from the banana cake.
07:33.5
Okay and then, I'm going to bake this in a preheated 325° F oven
07:41.5
for around 45 to 55 minutes or until the top exterior of the cake
07:48.5
is almost firm to the touch.
07:52.5
When you touch it like that, it's not super firm, it's also not super soft.
07:58.5
Okay, so let's set it.
08:01.5
So 325° F oven and then let's set it.
08:10.5
It also reach 55 minutes on the oven.
08:13.5
And as you can see, I let it cool a bit so that we can remove it from the pan.
08:19.5
Let's loosen the sides a bit.
08:24.5
You see how nice the crumble?
08:28.5
And it's not too sweet.
08:30.5
That's what's good about it.
08:31.5
I will flip it first.
08:34.5
I'm gonna get 2 pieces of chopping board.
08:41.5
I will flip it on the other one first.
08:50.5
You can really see the bottom, right?
08:53.5
And that's what you want, the one with fibers.
08:56.5
It means that the bananas are really overripe.
09:01.5
And then you invert it like that.
09:05.5
The crumble is not too soft
09:09.5
because we let it cool a bit a while ago.
09:12.5
And then now, let's slice and try it.
09:15.5
It seems like it's delicious with coffee.
09:17.5
So there, I open the coffee machine.
09:29.5
Look at the inside.
09:31.5
How moist is that?
09:34.5
Though for banana cakes, it's still smoking.
09:37.5
It's still warm, the inside is still hot.
09:39.5
I would highly recommend that you refrigerate it first
09:43.5
and then you consume it the following day.
09:46.5
It's more delicious but of course, who can resist that?
09:50.5
So there, I open my coffee already.
09:53.5
No one can resist that.
10:00.5
Look how beautiful it is.
10:02.5
This is what I'm saying, not me.
10:04.5
I know that I'm just being sarcastic right now.
10:11.5
I like to try it without the crumble first.
10:14.5
So there, the crumble just fell.
10:28.5
You really make it.
10:29.5
So good with the crumble.
10:40.5
I love how moist it is even though it's freshly baked
10:45.5
because normally, when it's freshly baked, you still can't get the best texture
10:51.5
because you still can't breathe.
10:53.5
But this one, I'm really holding a bench.
10:55.5
It's so delicious.
10:57.5
On the slice, it came from the inside.
11:16.5
Whether it's for breakfast, snack, dessert, midnight snack.
11:21.5
Anytime of the day, you eat this.
11:24.5
So make it and I'm going to see you all soon.
