As promised, which I mentioned in the banana cake recipe from overripe bananas a few days ago, today I will share again about banana cakes made from leftover overripe bananas.
If a few days ago I made baked cakes, today I will make steamed cakes. Especially, traditional Indonesian cakes. This traditional steamed cake is usually served at wedding parties, as well as other family events.
We often make this traditional cake because the ingredients needed are very easy to get in our area. Especially bananas. Usually in the village area where I live, there is an abundance of bananas so that the stock of bananas often becomes overripe.
Also, we have many coconut stocks. So, that's why people here often make cakes with coconut, especially grated coconut ingredients.
We also use banana leaves to wrap the cake. Banana leaves will also create an authentic delicious aroma to the steamed cake.
For flour, here I use gluten free flour, rice flour. Also, I use grated coconut for a combination of ingredients that will create a distinctive savory and sweet taste that is also delicious.
THE INGREDIENTS
- 10-15 overripe bananas
- grated coconut, from a whole half-mature coconut (not too old coconut)
- chopped brown sugar, 250 grams
- white sugar, 3 tbsp
- salt, 1/2 tsp
- vanilla, 1/2 tsp
- banana leaves, about 3 banana leaves
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

REMOVE BANANA SKINS

KNEAD THE MIXTURE

WRAP BANANA CAKES
STEAM CAKES
THE RESULTS
The result of the steamed banana cake will look firm in texture but still lovely to eat. I always like the authentic combination of grated coconut and brown sugar.
Grated coconut and brown sugar that have been combined with banana cakes and also rice flour are a delicious combination, especially for snacks with tea or coffee.
Enjoy steamed banana cakes while they are warm to get the maximum delicious taste. Look, we can see the beautiful texture of the bananas that create patterns on the cakes. Lovely! So, what do you think about these cakes? Would you try these banana cakes?

The overripe bananas do not look appetizing at all, and yet the cake looks delicious! Great use of resources😇
Inside the flesh still have good color texture, so they are not really bad :)
What a delicious way to use overripe bananas. I've never tried streamed cakes like these; they look really appetizing 😌💕
You can also make this recipe without banana leaves, but needed to spray the oil on the cake mold :)
That's a nice tip. Thanks! Banana leaves are not popular over here until November because of the Christmas season.
Have a great week ⭐
Ummm this banana cake sounds very exotic, I'm really curious to know how it tastes, it looks good.
Here in my country we use banana leaves to make one of the most emblematic Christmas dishes, but it is very different from this cake that you show us in this great recipe.
Greetings ☺️
Really exotic 😊
This recipe is absolutely delicious! I first tried it when my mother cooked it. The cassava is also one of the best.
Here, we also have cassava cakes wrapped with banana leaves :)

STOPWow! I bet this tastes yummy 🤤😋.... We have a somewhat similar dish here in Nigeria, but instead of flour we use corn meal and then palm oil, crayfish as some pepper for spice. We don't use bananas, we use plantains.... Amazing to find this dish from Indonesia, we are all connected ❤️
Great you have similar thing there
❤️
Yes 🙂
It looks really delicious! In my country there is something similar called "Hallaquitas" but this has many different things when it comes to flavors. How delicious!

Here in Brazil there are processes similar to these in cooking, but not for making banana cake. Nice to know about this "new" one.
Yeah, we can replace with many ingredients :)
