Chocolate Banana Cake

Yesterday i made a chocolate banana cake with Kelvin.
Was really nice to bake together~
Here is the recipe, i got it from the Amy Beh cookbook. Good!

Ingredients:

1) Chocolate chiffon cake

(A)
30g cocoa powder (mixed with 120ml water)
4 egg yolks
100g sugar
130g self-raising flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon sodium bicarbonate
60ml oil
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

(B)

4 egg whites
60g sugar
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

2)Cake filling :
500ml whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 ½ tablespoon instant coffee (mixed with 1 tablespoon hot water)
1 tablespoon gelatine ( dissolved in 40ml water)
6 ripen bananas (sliced)

3)Chocolate frosting :
200g chocolate
Butter 1 tablespoon
Milk 100ml
The chocolate is melted by double-boiling.

Methods:
Cake
1. Preheat oven at 180 degree. In a bowl, hand whisk
ingredient (A) until smooth.
2. In another bowl, use electric mixer to beat egg whites and
cream of tartar until foamy. Add sugar and continue beating
until stiff.
3. Fold ingredient (A) into (2).
4. Pour (3) into a lined cake tin and bake for 40 min.
How to line cake tin ?
Grease cake tin with margarine/butter. Then cut grease
paper according to size of tin and stick it to the greased
cake tin. Then grease again with margarine/butter.
5. Inert cake, leave it completely cool before cutting
into 3 layers.

Filling:

Get only slivki that is meant for making whipping cream
"dlia vzbivania", should be around 33-35%. Other
types wont turn out stiff!


The picture shows the wrong way!!!

1.Correct way of making the cream:
Make sure the cream is kept in fridge before u
whisk it.Whisk the cream in a metal bowl with the bowl
soaked in cold water with ice. This is essential so
that the cream will be really stiff. Whisk using electric
mixer, it would take about 8-10 min of whisking. Do not
over-whisk it or it will be watery.
To see whether it is stiff, use a spoon to stir the cream from
one direction to another.
If the cream remains at the direction u stir it, it is done.
Add vanilla essence, coffee and gelatine when the cream is stiff.





2. Spread filling over the 1st layer of cake and arrange banana
slices on top of the filling. Top with 2nd layer. Spread filling and
arrange banana slices. For the last layer, spread cream filling on the top
and sides of the cake. Leave in the fridge to set.



3. When the cream has hardened, pour on chocolate frosting.


4. I bought this from Ashan for around 28rub. We used the
left-over cream to decorate our cake..


This cake has a name... It is called "Our Cake". Hahahah!!!
