Banana Cake with Cashews Recipe

Banana Cake with Cashews Recipe

(Chuoi Nuong Vietnamese Cake Recipe)

Ingredients:  Oven: Preheated to 170-190°C

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

¾ cup cream

1½ cups plain (all-purpose) flour

2 kg (4 lb) very ripe bananas

1 cup coarsely chopped fresh cashews

1 cup grated fresh coconut (white part only)

 

Method:

Beat eggs and sugar together in electric mixer until mixture is thick and pale.  Use a fairly low speed.  Pour cream into bowl and beat for a few seconds longer, just to mix.  Sift flour, add to bowl mixture and stir with a wooden spoon.  Peel bananas and smash with the flat side of a chopper, but do not mash.  Add to batter with nuts and coconut.  Stir only until all ingredients are combined.  Grease two 20 cm (8-inch) pans and dust with flour, shaking out any excess.  Bake in a preheated moderate oven for an hour or until top is golden brown and test for doneness with a skewer.  Serve warm or cold.  This is a very solid, pudding-like but flavorsome cake.
