Hi, foodie guys! How have you been doing?
I would like to share one of my easy baking recipes: Vietnamese banana cake ("bánh chuối"). Most of you call it "banana bread" but why I don't call like that? because I don't use yeast to make doughs like making bread. Even making this cake is a lot easier than making Vietnamese traditional breads😃.
Since I was a 7 year old kid, I have been in love with the fresh banana cakes from local street vendors in Vietnam like my other siblings. However, I could not eat a lot due to its contained dairy and sometimes the seller made them too sweet. So I decided to create my own recipe to make the taste more balanced and unique.
My banana cake is really much complimented by my guests when we have a house party. It is very easy for you to try at home because you only need very few simple ingredients to make it:
1. Ingredients:
| Fresh ripe bananas (medium size) | 4-5 units (approx. 450g) |
| Wheat Flour | 300gr |
| Dairy milk (no sugar added) | 150ml |
| Butter (at least 75% fat or more) | 140gr |
| Whole chicken eggs | 02 units = total at least 75grs |
| Undefined sugar (brown sugar) | 40-45gr |
| Raisin (dried grapes) | 100gr |
| Powdered salt | 10gr |
| Baking Soda | 5gr |
| Vanilla (liquid) | 5ml |
2. Prepare the mixture:
⁃FRESH BANANAS: Peel 4.5 bananas then crush them in a separate bowl. Only keep a half of a banana for decoration on the top of the cake. Slice this half banana into some thin slices. (see my photo)
⁃DRY INGREDIENT MIXTURE: Mix all wheat flour, salt, baking soda together well and leave them in a dry bowl.NO WATER ADDED.
⁃WET INGREDIENT MIXTURE:
-
Melt the all butter with a separate bowl on the boiling water pot (see my photo) and leave it cool down a bit (not too long).
-
Check the melted butter if it is still in good warm. Then put the melted butter, all milk, and all brown sugar into the bowl of crushed banana. Mix them well in 05 mins
-
Then put all eggs into the melted butter bowl and mix it very well also. Now we have the wet-ingredient-mixture bowl.
⁃Use a small flour-sifter to sieve all DRY INGREDIENT MIXTURE into WET INGREDIENT MIXTURE bowl evenly.
⁃Stir to mix all of them very well again.
⁃Next, put all vanilla liquid and 90gr raisins into this ingredient mixture bowl and mix them again few mins.
3. Bake and Serve
⁃We will use 02 metal baking pans with size 16cm L x 8cm W x 6cm H.
⁃Turn on the oven to 170 C degrees and put the empty baking pans in for 10 mins.
⁃After 10 mins heated in oven, the baking pans are taken out. Leave the oven on.
⁃Put one small butter cube in each hot baking pan. Then use the pastry brush to wet the melted butter all inner sides of the pans evenly.
⁃Line a piece of baking paper at the bottom of each pan (see my photos). This will help you to take the cake out easily after baking.
⁃Pour the mixture inside two pans. Shake each pan lightly to break any air bubbles inside the mixture.
⁃Decorate each cake by thin slices of fresh bananas and the raisins.
⁃Bake two cakes in preheated ovens in 50 mins with the temperature 170 C degrees.
⁃After 50 mins, the cakes are beautifully brown. To check if the cake are fully baked or not, you can use a tooth-pick to stab deeply in the cakes. If it is still wet on the toothpick, then you need to bake around 8 minutes and check again by a tooth-pick.
⁃After fully baked, the banana cakes can be sliced and served as a snack with green tea or a dessert in a meal.
As usual, my friend @alexbb9700 helped me take most of photos of my cooking process.
I hope this recipe can be one of your “to-try” list. If you need any question or any help, please leave a comment here and I will do my best to explain as soon as possible.
Enjoy a great cooking time!
See you next time with another easy recipe from me!
Hi @dianalee1301! In Venezuela there are several recipes for cakes made with bananas, sometimes combining sweet and savory flavors. This recipe you present is interesting, since you incorporate the puree with banana slices, which gives it different levels of texture. The result is sure to be very good. Best regards.
Hi @sirenahippie, I edited all photos of my post as you required. Sorry for late answers because I was super busy at my work and I only have time to read and edit posts after work time. Alex explained to me everything, so I understood the situation too. Thank you again for your time to read my post and curating it. I appreciate @livinguktaiwan for helping us solving the situation. I will try to be more active in this community as much as I can.
Have a great night, ladies!
Hi @dianalee1301! I'm glad you edited the photos, that's important to get everything right. I've already unmuted your post. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I look forward to other recipes made by you, I'm sure they will be very interesting. Good night to you too.
Thank you for your kindness 😻.
Nice Job
Thank you 🙏🏻

Check out the last post from @hivebuzz:
I will mute this post until I know, why if the photos have the name of one user, they are being posted on another user's account. I would like to know what is going on here @dianalee1301.
my friend took photo for me while I am baking. i cannot both take photos and baking same time. if you want, I can ask my friend to change all photos under my name. I asked my friend @alexbb9709 explained to @livinguktaiwan . It is not fair when you muted my post and did not read it, only saw the photos. You see I wrote “most of photo credited to my friend” because I was baking while she was taking photos of my proccess?
Good morning. Who is moderator of Foodies Bee Hive is me, in any case that's why I asked for an explanation at the time of muting your post and told you why I was muting it. It is strange that in a post of a person who has a user name, photos appear with another user name.
You need to understand something: Throughout Hive there have been several cases of plagiarism and our job as curators, moderators and community managers, is precisely to avoid this practice as much as possible.
Being so, that your friend was the one who took the photos, please ask him to remove the name of the photos and proceed to edit your post, replacing the current photos by the photos without name. As soon as you do this procedure, please let me know that it is ready in a comment.
Thank you. Happy day to you.
These are all of my photos and can I just confirm that my friend @dianalee1301 has all right to use all of my photos that I took when she was doing her cooking?
Also, did you check other posts of mine I also did the same?
why you muted her post? I am the one who took the photo why she was baking? Did you check any of her recipes? I am the one who took photos for any of her recipe posts too???? You SHOULD READ and SEE THE PHOTOS at the same time. NOT ONLY SEE THE PHOTOS and did not understand then muted the post. You just muted the quality post that she took more 1 hour to write and post because she is not good at formatting. She did the best and you just did your worst! 😡😡😡😡
