Steamed banana cake

moist, light cake

I modified Dan Lepard's Banana Bread  for a steamed version here.
Tasted great.




Ingredients
350g very riped bananas
15ml lemon juice
75g unsalted butter
120g dark brown sugar ( you may use 175g if not using very riped bananas)
40ml oil
1 tsp mixed spice
3 eggs medium
325g wholemeal flour
1 and 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Note: I added in 80g pepitas





Method
1.  Sift flour ( including the bran) and soda. Set aside for later use.

2.   In a bowl, mix well the mashed bananas with lemon juice.

3.  In very low heat, using a small saucepan, gently melt down the butter. Transfer to another bowl, beat in sugar, oil and spice.  Add egg one at a time until combined.

4.  Beat half sifted flour into the egg mixture, fold in the bananas and pepitas mixture, fold in the remaining flour gently.  Meanwhile, set up steamer.

5.  Spoon the mixture into the greased 9" round pan and smooth the top.

6.  Steam in high heat for 50 minutes, until a skewer inserted in comes out clean.
