This Thai steamed banana cake is a denser version of the typical Thai banana cake and is very easy to make. You can steam it in a square baking tin, in individual foil cups, or, in the Thai way, in banana leaves.

Ingredients

  • 1 , 3.5 ounce
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 0.75 cups tapioca flour
  • 0.5 cups rice flour
  • 0.5 tablespoons arrowroot starch
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut cream
  • 0.5 cups white sugar
  • 1 pound ripe bananas , mashed
  • 0.5 cups coconut milk
  • 0.13 teaspoons salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toss coconut with ¼ teaspoon salt in a bowl; set aside.

  2. 2

    Sift tapioca flour, rice flour, and arrowroot starch together in a separate large bowl; stir in coconut cream until flours are incorporated into cream, at least 10 minutes. Stir in sugar until completely dissolved. Add mashed bananas; mix well. Stir in coconut milk and ⅛ teaspoon salt; mix well.

  3. 3

    Pour batter into a square baking pan or individual aluminum foil cups; top with reserved coconut.

  4. 4

    Place a large steamer basket into a saucepan; fill with 1 ½ inches water, no more than just below the bottom of the basket. Bring water to a boil. Add baking pan or foil cups to the basket, cover, and steam until cake is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
