Banana Chiffon Cake

Edit
Most recipes for banana cake operate well-nigh 1 business office banana to 1 business office flour. That's way equally good footling bananas. My cake has 175 g bananas to lxx g flour, hence the ratio is 2.5:1. With hence much bananas, it literally bursts amongst banana flavour.
When banana cake has a lot of bananas, it becomes dense as well as wet. IOW, it turns into banana bread. That's a proficient affair if yous similar heavy as well as squat banana staff of life but I don't.
How practise I halt banana cake from turning into banana bread?
By making the cake rise, hence it's non dense. And making the cake dry out out, hence it's non equally good wet.
To assistance the cake rising well, my recipe has a fair chip of baking soda as well as baking powder. Egg whites whisked till delineate of piece of job solid peak phase also lend a hand. A chiffon pan helps equally good because the funnel makes the batter oestrus upward evenly.
Mashed bananas dry out out slowly, hence the cake must endure baked longer, at a lowish temperature. I give it 1 lx minutes at 160°C. If the temperature is higher, the within of the cake would even hence endure moisture when the exceed is brown.
If the cake is equally good moisture when it's removed from the oven, it'll shrink equally it cools downwardly or subsequently it's unmoulded.
Besides the baking fourth dimension as well as temperature, putting less moisture ingredients inwards the cake also helps brand the cake less wet. There's entirely a small-scale amount of petroleum inwards the recipe, as well as no H2O or milk.
A fluffy cake is fluffy because its construction is weak. To halt the construction from collapsing when it's at its weakest – only subsequently the cake is removed from the oven –it must cling to the sides as well as bottom of the cake pan.
The pan mustn't endure non-stick as well as it must endure inverted i time it's removed from the oven. A funnel inwards the oculus gives the cake to a greater extent than surface surface area to cling to.
Banana cake is best served without frosting, hence there's zero to mask the season of the bananas.
Are yous fix to consume the most fluffy as well as most banana-y e'er banana cake? Hey, yous accept to bake it first.
