[Recipe] Gula Melaka Banana Cake With Walnuts

Aug 16th 2013, 15:27, by Ellena | Cuisine Paradise

My family members love "banana" cake except me. But about two weeks ago, when I saw Maryann (@tubbykat) Gula Melaka Banana Bread's photo on Instagram (here) I know immediately I am going to bake something similar. The main reason is not because of the banana but it's rather on my favourite "Gula Melaka" which is one of the key ingredients for this recipe.

For your information Gula Melaka (palm sugar) can be found in most Asian Supermarkets and you can use it to make dessert, kueh, cake or melt it to use a syrup for sweetening too.

GULA MELAKA BANANA CAKE WITH WALNUTS

For this Banana Cake recipe, I replaced caster sugar with shaved gula melaka so alternatively you can also used the 140g brown/caster sugar too. I love the soft and moist texture of this cake as well as a scent of light fragrant from the palm sugar used. And in order to create caramelized taste for the banana toppings, I also sprinkler some extra shaved gula melaka on top of the batter before baking.

(Make: 7" Square Tin | Preparation: 10 minutes | Baking Time: 50 minutes)

Ingredients:

250g Lurprak Unsalted Butter, soften

140g Shaved Gula Melaka

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

4 Eggs (55g each)

270g Self-raising Flour

1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1/4 Teaspoon Salt

240g Ripe Bananas, mashed

60g Chopped Walnuts

30ml Kahlua

* 30g Shaved Gula Melaka, optional

* Some extra Walnuts (whole) And Banana (slices) for decoration

Method:-
1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (degree Celsius), grease and line cake pan with baking paper. Or for easy serving, bake them in individual cupcake case.

2. Beat butter, shaved gula melaka and vanilla using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time until well mixed.

3. Next fold in half portion of the sifted flours (flour, baking soda and salt) till well mixed, add in mashed banana and stir till combined with the remaining flours.

4. Lastly stir in Kahula and chopped walnuts, mixed till combined.

4. Pour batter into prepared cake pan, top with sliced banana, walnuts and generous amount of shaved gula melaka.

5. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes until a skewer in the middle comes out clean. For cupcake size, bake for approximately 20 - 25 minutes.

6. Cool cake completely in the pan on top of the wire rack before cutting.

For those who requested for this recipe, I hope you will like it and do remember to use ripe banana for this recipe so that you cake will taste better with the sweet aroma from the banana. Till then have a great weekend ahead and happy baking......
