Easy Baking Recipe - Vietnamese Savoury Banana Cake (vegetarian)

in #hive-1205863 years ago

Hi, foodie guys! How have you been doing?

I would like to share one of my easy baking recipes: Vietnamese banana cake ("bánh chuối"). Most of you call it "banana bread" but why I don't call like that? because I don't use yeast to make doughs like making bread. Even making this cake is a lot easier than making Vietnamese traditional breads😃.

Since I was a 7 year old kid, I have been in love with the fresh banana cakes from local street vendors in Vietnam like my other siblings. However, I could not eat a lot due to its contained dairy and sometimes the seller made them too sweet. So I decided to create my own recipe to make the taste more balanced and unique.

My banana cake is really much complimented by my guests when we have a house party. It is very easy for you to try at home because you only need very few simple ingredients to make it:

1. Ingredients:

Fresh ripe bananas (medium size) 4-5 units (approx. 450g)
Wheat Flour 300gr
Dairy milk (no sugar added) 150ml
Butter (at least 75% fat or more) 140gr
Whole chicken eggs 02 units = total at least 75grs
Undefined sugar (brown sugar) 40-45gr
Raisin (dried grapes) 100gr
Powdered salt 10gr
Baking Soda 5gr
Vanilla (liquid) 5ml

2. Prepare the mixture:

FRESH BANANAS: Peel 4.5 bananas then crush them in a separate bowl. Only keep a half of a banana for decoration on the top of the cake. Slice this half banana into some thin slices. (see my photo)

DRY INGREDIENT MIXTURE: Mix all wheat flour, salt, baking soda together well and leave them in a dry bowl.NO WATER ADDED.

WET INGREDIENT MIXTURE:

  • Melt the all butter with a separate bowl on the boiling water pot (see my photo) and leave it cool down a bit (not too long).


  • Check the melted butter if it is still in good warm. Then put the melted butter, all milk, and all brown sugar into the bowl of crushed banana. Mix them well in 05 mins

  • Then put all eggs into the melted butter bowl and mix it very well also. Now we have the wet-ingredient-mixture bowl.


⁃Use a small flour-sifter to sieve all DRY INGREDIENT MIXTURE into WET INGREDIENT MIXTURE bowl evenly.


⁃Stir to mix all of them very well again.


⁃Next, put all vanilla liquid and 90gr raisins into this ingredient mixture bowl and mix them again few mins.

3. Bake and Serve

⁃We will use 02 metal baking pans with size 16cm L x 8cm W x 6cm H.

⁃Turn on the oven to 170 C degrees and put the empty baking pans in for 10 mins.

⁃After 10 mins heated in oven, the baking pans are taken out. Leave the oven on.

⁃Put one small butter cube in each hot baking pan. Then use the pastry brush to wet the melted butter all inner sides of the pans evenly.




⁃Line a piece of baking paper at the bottom of each pan (see my photos). This will help you to take the cake out easily after baking.


⁃Pour the mixture inside two pans. Shake each pan lightly to break any air bubbles inside the mixture.

⁃Decorate each cake by thin slices of fresh bananas and the raisins.


⁃Bake two cakes in preheated ovens in 50 mins with the temperature 170 C degrees.

⁃After 50 mins, the cakes are beautifully brown. To check if the cake are fully baked or not, you can use a tooth-pick to stab deeply in the cakes. If it is still wet on the toothpick, then you need to bake around 8 minutes and check again by a tooth-pick.


⁃After fully baked, the banana cakes can be sliced and served as a snack with green tea or a dessert in a meal.


As usual, my friend @alexbb9700 helped me take most of photos of my cooking process.

I hope this recipe can be one of your “to-try” list. If you need any question or any help, please leave a comment here and I will do my best to explain as soon as possible.

Enjoy a great cooking time!

See you next time with another easy recipe from me!

Sort:  

I will mute this post until I know, why if the photos have the name of one user, they are being posted on another user's account. I would like to know what is going on here @dianalee1301.

Also, did you check other posts of mine I also did the same?

my friend took photo for me while I am baking. i cannot both take photos and baking same time. if you want, I can ask my friend to change all photos under my name. I asked my friend @alexbb9709 explained to @livinguktaiwan . It is not fair when you muted my post and did not read it, only saw the photos. You see I wrote “most of photo credited to my friend” because I was baking while she was taking photos of my proccess?

Good morning. Who is moderator of Foodies Bee Hive is me, in any case that's why I asked for an explanation at the time of muting your post and told you why I was muting it. It is strange that in a post of a person who has a user name, photos appear with another user name.

You need to understand something: Throughout Hive there have been several cases of plagiarism and our job as curators, moderators and community managers, is precisely to avoid this practice as much as possible.

Being so, that your friend was the one who took the photos, please ask him to remove the name of the photos and proceed to edit your post, replacing the current photos by the photos without name. As soon as you do this procedure, please let me know that it is ready in a comment.

Thank you. Happy day to you.

These are all of my photos and can I just confirm that my friend @dianalee1301 has all right to use all of my photos that I took when she was doing her cooking?

why you muted her post? I am the one who took the photo why she was baking? Did you check any of her recipes? I am the one who took photos for any of her recipe posts too???? You SHOULD READ and SEE THE PHOTOS at the same time. NOT ONLY SEE THE PHOTOS and did not understand then muted the post. You just muted the quality post that she took more 1 hour to write and post because she is not good at formatting. She did the best and you just did your worst! 😡😡😡😡

And one more thing, @livinguktaiwan I don't understand why some comments are silenced. It was not me.

Once you mute a post all subsequent comments will be muted as well

Hi @livinguktaiwan. I don't understand, I have muted the post, but I have not muted any comment, in fact, I have unmuted some comments that were going out on mute. Well, it must be some mistake.

I hope you understand that I do my job, lately a lot of new people have come in, bringing third party content, coming from other networks. I only safeguard the transparency and consistency of the community. I hope your friends do the removal of the name in the photos to proceed to unmuted it.

When you mute a post it automatically mutes all the comments that are posted after the mute.

There have certainly been a lot of spam and fake content recently since the Hive price hike, and that's why it's important for curators to be more deligent. But if an account is determined to be legitimate there is really no reason to continue to mute it

Since you are the mentor of this user, I will then proceed to unmute her post. It would be ideal if she would edit the post, as this would not create confusion in the community.

Hi @dianalee1301! In Venezuela there are several recipes for cakes made with bananas, sometimes combining sweet and savory flavors. This recipe you present is interesting, since you incorporate the puree with banana slices, which gives it different levels of texture. The result is sure to be very good. Best regards.

Hi @sirenahippie, I edited all photos of my post as you required. Sorry for late answers because I was super busy at my work and I only have time to read and edit posts after work time. Alex explained to me everything, so I understood the situation too. Thank you again for your time to read my post and curating it. I appreciate @livinguktaiwan for helping us solving the situation. I will try to be more active in this community as much as I can.

Have a great night, ladies!

Hi @dianalee1301! I'm glad you edited the photos, that's important to get everything right. I've already unmuted your post. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I look forward to other recipes made by you, I'm sure they will be very interesting. Good night to you too.

Thank you for your kindness 😻.

@dianalee1301 @alexbb9700 @livinguktaiwan Please let me know when you have edited the post. I will immediately proceed to unmute and heal it. Thanks

she is cooking right now. We are only home until 10pm eastern European time, so she will edit it.

Hey @sirenahippie and @anggreklestari, I have been mentoring @dianalee1301 and @alexbb9700 to work their way around Hive. If you look into their account particularly their introduction post which is what I always do, you will see that the two girls run a little Vietnamese kitchen in Lithuania together, that explains why the photos and post is in a different name. I see @dianalee1301 has been producing some solid content since she joined, so a little curation engagement from the Foodie community would go a long way to support new quality content creators, as that's what OCD aims to do.

@dianalee1301 @alexbb9700 I know you girls have already done a self introduction post. Your story is an interesting one from Vietnam to Lithuania and opening up a little kitchen in foreign land. Perhaps you can share a bit more of your journey with us, so the community can get a better understanding of you.

Engagement and interaction is a big part of hive, particularly if you want to grow your account, so maybe spend some time on growing your network. I know English isn't your first language and that you may be frustrated with how some things go on Hive, but don't get too upset with things and people as that doesn't help with resolving things.

Good morning @livinguktaiwan , it is good to know that you are the mentor of both accounts; but in proceeding to mute this post in the community, I have done what I regularly do when I get something that may seem to me to indicate an irregularity; as I always tell users, it is not personal, I just do my job and avoid as much as possible to possible plagiarizers.

Now, two days ago there was a somewhat similar situation with another user, since she had an account in Hive, but the photos had a watermark with another user name; I proceeded in the same way.

What I mean by this, and I think it is a very simple thing to do, is to take the photos taken by your friend, that is, the ones with watermark, and proceed to replace them with others without watermark. It's a simple thing to do, and this way you ensure consistency in the community.

I hope that the post will be fixed, to proceed to unmute it.

Thanks for the heads up. Happy day to you.

So now I calm down and I do apologize to @sirenahippie for what I wrote about you 🥺. I know you just do your job, but you should check a bit carefully before you shut her post 😣 because I saw my friend put all heart every time she wrote her post. I always protect her when we were 10years old because her health is not normal like others, so my reaction is over a bit anything concerning to Diana.

Thank you @livinguktaiwan from the very beginning and further to mentor us!

I sympathize with you, it's really nice to take care of someone else, that's great. Now, there are things that I don't know about users, especially if they are new; that's why I always give them the opportunity to explain the situation; however, to avoid further complications and to keep everything consistent, the only thing to do is to remove your name from the photos that have them, after that, I unmute the post and cure it. That's all. Thank you.

So better I will put Diana name of any photos I took for her next time. Thank you for your understanding. Tonight after work, we will talk than will write a post about us in this community. sorry again for my bad temper!

No problem @alexbb9700, thank you very much for understanding it's not personal, I'm just doing my job, and making sure there is consistency in the community.

What you have to do is to put her name in the photos that are included in her posts; and you will put your name in the photos of the posts that you publish.

This is important, because the curators, administrators and moderators of the community, we may be aware of the situation, that you are a team, a couple, but the users in general, not.

Please name me in a comment when you edit the post. I will immediately proceed to unmute and cure it.

Have a nice day.

Thanks but we are not couple 😂😂. We are just family friends and soulmates for too long to remember when lol. We will fix that complicated thing tonight after work.

Have a nice day!

Hahaha, sorry, ok. 😅
