p/s Aunty, can you design a yam cake with yam frosting for me as I'm keen to bake it for my best friend's b'day.
Hi aunty, other than the banana cake layer, did you incorporate a "no-frills" cake layer either on top or below?
How long did you steam this cake and what size pan did you use? TIA
Dear Yochana
This looks really nice & interesting ! I hope you will share the recipe ?
Thank you

Hi Yochana,
I’m interested in your “Steamed Soft Banana Cake”
Can you be kind enough to let me have the recipe.
My email address is as follow
Caecilia@singnet.com.sg
Thank you in advance!!
caecilia
hi aunty, thx for sharing the recipe. just wonder if i could steam the 'top layer'first followed by the banana layer cos i think the banana layer looks nicer on top.
Dear aunty,
Do you need to cover the cake with aluminium foil during the steaming??
Thanks
Alison
Dear Alison,
You can cover with aluminium foil if you find that your steaming has water dripping onto your cake. Some steamer doesn't have this problem , so no need to cover. It's optional actually.
rgds
Hi anonymous,
My advice to you is to steam the banana cake layer first then the plain egg layer on top because the banana layer is heavier and it will press the plain layer down and it will it not look nice. You can turn it upside down like me when you serve...both ways are acceptable.
rgds
Hi Yochana,
I was busy sewing dog's shoes for friend's 2 dogs. Then I came back to pc I saw that you have posted in....wah!!!
A big "THANK YOU" to you
Lv from Caecilia & John
Hi Lucy,
Thanks for posting the recipe. :)
Tried the Ma Lai Koh & turns out great! ;D
Cos i've never like those which sells outside as the texture is rough.
Will try this banana cake next week but will skip the top layer as prefer all to be banana. ;)
Regards
Mei
Aunty Yochana
Thank you very much for posting the recipe.

Hi Mei,
Thumbs up!!
yeah, you can do without the top layer.
rgds
Hi caecilia,
Wow...dog's shoes...what on earth are those for? Winter time to keep the paws warm? I bet our friend "putu piring" would like it for her 15 years old Dog who is so attached to her.

Hi lucy,
Do u think i can grease the metal loaf tin and coat with flour instead of lining it with greasproof paper?
Regards
Mei
Thanks for the recipe,Aunty.Am planning to try it tomorrow.I only hope it turns out as well as yours.

Jaime.
Oh yes you can Mei but at the base grease slightly more.
rgds

Hi Aunty Lucy,
Thks for the recipe. Your bake look so nice and yummy. I just tried baking this and it didn't turn out that well. The sponge layer turned out very dense and had a very strong "eggy" smell.Could it be that i didn't beat the egg long enough? The banana layer rose a lot more in the centre and refused to go down so my sponge layer was covering more of the sides than the centre. It looked kinda of funny. Any advice on how I can make my cake better? Would like to try again. Thks and regds. Chris
Hi Lucy
May I know what type of banana you are using?
Regards
May
hi, can i use an all purpose flour ?
do you mean by / or.
thank you.
Hi anonymous,
Ya..you can use all purpose flour. No problem at all.
rgds
Hi May,
I used "Del Monte" bananas. Easily available.
rgds
Hi chris,
mmm....funny.
I made the banana portion and while it's steaming inside, I had to rush off to office so I asked my maid to do the topping for me. I instructed her according to my method and tada....it was beautifully done.
I think you try using 2 smaller loaf pans instead of 1 big loaf pan and try again. Use a spoon to push the banana batter more to the side instead of a big lump in the middle.

Hi Yochana,
Yesterday I attended “RC” dinner and when I returned at 11:30 pm I saw your message inquiring “dog’s shoes!!" I posted the reply but it did not appear.
“About dog’s shoes”….. Dogs do wear shoes, they must be trained to wear shoes when they are young say round 6 months old.
If you are interested to see how they look like, do give me your email address I’ll show you some pics of them which I have made
rgds
caecilia@singnet.com.sg
Hi caecilia,
Yes I'm interested to see:
yochana2001@hotmail.com
My dog is a German shepherd , running in the garden so I think shoes for him is out of the question.
rgds
Hi Aunty Yochana,
Thanks for the recipe and I really admire you that have wonderful baked items and dessert everyday/almost. I would like to try this recipe, but may I know the pan size? Appreciate your time. Thanks!!
Hi chris,
I used two small loaf pans of about 6" each. You can also bake in a normal sq tray of about 7" sq.
rgds
hi,
i have a question, i tried your cake and my banana layer was very dark not like your cake , what may be the reason? i use a beautifull banana?
thank you
hi aunty,
if i skip the top layer, how long do i have to steam the banana layer, is it 15 to 20 minutes? will it cook by 15 minutes if i'm using 8" round cake mould?
bae
Hi Bae,
In that case, steam for 25 to 30 mins. Test with a skewer.
rgds
Hi aunty :
tried this cake making yesterday noon, and it turned out great. yumz. thank you.

Hi kiwi,
Thumbs Up!! Congrats to you..

Dear Aunty yochana, thank you for a wonderful recipe. It tasted really good. My hubby & mom loves all cakes steamed!
Hi Aunty,
Can I use sunflower oil instead of cornoil? and
Can I use the bamboo steamer to steam the soft banana cake? If so, do I need to cover the loaf pan with aluminum foil?
Many thanks :)
Hi anonymous,
yes you can use cornoil instead.
Yes you can use bamboo steamer. No need to cover with aluminium foil.

I'm from Malaysia. May i know what's Del monte banana in malay? Is it the long type "pisang embun? or the short and fat type? I noticed some banana doesn't give the tiny black strips like what banana cake used to have. Thanks
Hi Leo,
Del Monte bananas comes from Philippines and I think Malaysia has another name for it.

Yochana
I made this cake today. The banana layer came out alright but the sponge layer was very "tough". Any reason for that?
It tastes good tho and thanks for sharing recipe
Hi Rita,
It means that the batter has been deflated when you stir it.
rgds
Hi Aunty,
I'm not really good in baking any cake but i managed to steam this banana cake...so excited.
but..can i asked how come the inside part v.hard to get cook. The outside turns out very good.
hi anonymous,
did you use a 3 tiered steamer or a wok?
a wok normally does not do a good job for steamed cakes.
rgds
Hi Aunty,
No wonder. I used wok..
Btw, my col said very nice..Thanks to you for sharing this recipe to us. :o)
Hi Aunty Yochana,
I tried baking this cake twice but both times it didn't turn out looking nice. I used a square 7" tin but the banana layer rose high in the centre aft steaming. Hence the plain layer was not able to be evenly spread on top n it also didn't rise n turn out tough n chewy. Hwr, the banana layer taste nice thou.
Pls help! Wat could hv possibly went wrong!
Rgds,
Annie
Hi Annie
You could have overstirred the batter.
rgds
Hi Aunty Yochana,
Overstirred the batter that's why my egg sponge layer din rise or my banana layer rising too much in the centre?
I had the same problem as one of the comments & u advised her to spread the banana batter to the sides but the batter was too watery to spread lei...! U don't mean steam for awhile then spread before it's cook rite?
Also do I steam at high or medium heat?
Aiyoh Aunty! Very sad that I juz can't get it rite lei..
Hi Aunty, is the batter to be lumpy or smooth and runny?
hi Aunty,
Should the batter be lumpy or smooth and runny?

Kuan
