Welcome to our delightful recipe for Banana Cake with Passionfruit Icing. This cake is a perfect blend of banana's natural sweetness and the tropical tang of passionfruit. With a spiced batter and creamy icing, it’s sure to be a hit at any gathering.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth mixture.
In a separate bowl, sift together the self-raising flour, all-purpose white wheat flour, cinnamon, and ginger.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the mashed bananas and shredded coconut meat until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Stir in the passion fruit pulp until well mixed.
Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your delightful banana cake with passionfruit icing!
Tips:
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use ripe bananas for a richer flavor and smoother texture in the cake.
- Sift the self-raising and all-purpose flours to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Fold the dry ingredients gently into the wet mixture to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- For a more intense flavor, allow the cake to cool completely before icing.
- Add a few extra tablespoons of powdered sugar to the icing if you prefer a stiffer consistency.
- For a more pronounced passionfruit flavor, consider adding some passionfruit pulp to the cake batter as well.
This Banana Cake with Passionfruit Icing is a delightful treat that balances the sweetness of bananas with the tropical zing of passionfruit. Perfect for any occasion, it’s a dessert that will leave everyone asking for more. Enjoy your baking!
