Steamed banana cake

This will change what you think you know about banana cake. Instead of baking, try steaming – it gives the cake a delicate, moist texture that’s extremely addictive! Serve with a sweet coconut sauce and you’ll be converted.

Spoon into prepared dish then cover with plastic wrap. Drape a tea towel over the top and put in a steamer basket over a saucepan of simmering water. Cook, covered with lid, for 20 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely.

Put coconut cream and the remaining sugar in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Simmer for 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
