Ingredients

4 eggs
55 gr palm sugar
35 gr sugar
½ tsp salt
240 gr ripe banana puree + 20 gr milk
180 gr cake flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp vanilla extract
60 gr unsalted butter melt
60 gr coconut oil

Instructions

Mash bananas using a fork or food processor. Overripe bananas are easy to mash. If you use food processor, pour some milk to make it easier. I prefer using fork so I can get to taste some banana chunks in the cake.
Melt unsalted butter in a microwave or on a pan with low heat. Do not let it boil. Set aside for later use.
In a bowl, put in eggs, palm sugar, white sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix with high speed until thick and pale. Put in the mashed bananas. Mix for a while.
Sieve flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon ground into the batter. Mix and fold using a spatula. .
Mix the melted butter with the oil, take some of the batter, mix well. Pour into the big bowl, mix well. Pour into a lined baking pan. Here I use 18x18 cm pan
Knock the pan a few times to let the air out. Put the pan in a pre-heated oven of 180°C for 5-10 minutes. Take it out when it has a little bit of skin on top. Decorate with some bananas and almond slices. Put it back into the oven and continue baking for another 30 minutes or until it is brown on top. Insert a bamboo stick to check if the cake is done. Take out from the pan and let it cool on a cooling rack.

Notes

Prepare the baking pan ahead. Grease with butter and line it with baking paper.
Mash the bananas using a fork if you like it coarse. If you like it fine, put the bananas in the food processor. Add some milk to make it smooth.
Use odorless oil like coconut oil or canola oil.
To put slices of banana on top for decoration, you need to let the top of the cake form a skin strong enough to hold the bananas. Let it bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Press the sliced bananas a little to let it stick to the top.
