How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose bananas for a delicious cake
- Choose a bunch of bananas that are not uniformly colored (some ripe, some green) and have dark or deep pink spots.
- Avoid choosing bananas that are uniformly ripe with a deep yellow skin.
- Naturally ripe bananas will have a yellow stem and body. If the stem is green but the fruit is uniformly yellow, it has definitely been soaked in chemicals.
- Tree-ripened bananas will have a fragrant smell and natural sweetness, soft all over. Chemical-treated bananas, when eaten, will feel a bit crunchy, hard, with a bitter and sour taste.

What is baking powder? Suggestions on where to buy baking powder
- Baking powder (also known as baking powder, leavening powder) is a leavening agent used in baking recipes. In terms of composition, baking powder consists of baking soda (baking soda) and a certain amount of acid to react with the baking soda, along with a little starch. Because it already contains acid, baking powder can be used more flexibly than baking soda.
- Types of cakes such as muffin, biscuits, and scones are types of cakes that use baking powder as a leavening agent. Bánh bò is also a type of cake that uses baking powder to create fluffiness.
- You can buy baking powder at stores that sell baking ingredients or purchase it online on e-commerce websites.

How to make Banana Chocolate Sponge Cake without an oven
-
Prepare the bananas
200g of ripe bananas should be sliced and marinated overnight with 20g of sugar. After that, use a fork to mash the marinated bananas until smooth.
For the remaining 2 ripe bananas, use a knife to cut them lengthwise into 2 or 3 pieces, and set them aside to add in when baking the cake.
Tip: The cake will have a richer yellow color and look better if the bananas are marinated with sugar overnight. If you don’t have time, you can marinate the bananas for 30 – 60 minutes as well.
-
Whisk the egg yolks
First, separate the egg yolks and egg whites into 2 different bowls.
In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the mashed bananas, 100ml of unsweetened fresh milk, 1 vanilla stick, and 30ml of cooking oil, then mix well.
Next, add 110g of flour and 6g of baking powder, and continue to mix until the mixture is smooth.
-
Beat the egg whites
In a bowl of egg whites, add a little salt and use a mixer on low speed until the eggs form a lot of tiny bubbles like soap.
Next, add the juice of 1/4 lemon, gradually add sugar, and then beat at medium speed until the eggs are soft and fluffy, lifting the whisk to create a peak that bends slightly.
Tips for successfully whipping egg whites- Egg whites should be at room temperature before whipping.
- Use fresh eggs, and ensure that no other substances like yolks or fats are mixed in, otherwise the egg whites won’t whip properly.
- Egg whites will whip faster if you can add vinegar or lemon juice, but be careful with the amount, otherwise, the cake will change flavor. For safety, you should use cream of tartar at a dosage of 1/2 teaspoon.

Mix the cake batter
Divide the whipped egg whites into 2 portions, add each portion to the bowl of flour, and gently mix in one direction to avoid breaking the bubbles.
Finally, add 15g of cocoa powder, mix thoroughly one more time to complete.
-
Baking the cake in a non-stick pan
Grease the non-stick pan with oil, then line it with paper and grease the paper with oil. Pour the cake batter into the pan and arrange the sliced bananas on top.
Place the pan on the stove, bake for 30 minutes over low heat, then flip it over and bake for another 30 minutes to complete.
