Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Flour |
| 1 1/2 cups | Sugar |
| 3 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1 tsp | Salt |
| 1/2 cup | Mashed banana |
| 1/2 cup | Lemon juice |
| 1 cup | Vegetable oil |

Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Ensure it’s adequately heated for baking perfection.
-
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures a smooth and lump-free batter.
-
Create Well: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. This is where the magic begins!
-
Mix Wet Ingredients: Into the well, add the vegetable oil, egg, mashed bananas, and lemon juice. These ingredients will infuse your cake with moistness and flavor.
-
Beat Until Smooth: Using a mixer, beat the ingredients until they form a smooth, creamy mixture. This step ensures even distribution of flavors.
-
Whip Egg Whites: In a separate mixing bowl, add the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat until stiff peaks form, creating a fluffy cloud-like texture.
-
Fold Gently: Gradually and gently fold the banana mixture into the stiff egg whites. This step requires patience and care to maintain the airy texture.
-
Pour Into Pan: Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. The lack of greasing allows the cake to rise evenly and maintain its structure.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean and dry. Keep an eye on it for that perfect golden hue!
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely. This step ensures easy removal from the pan and enhances the flavor.
-
Serve: Once cooled, remove the cake from the pan and serve slices of this delectable Banana Chiffon Cake to delight your taste buds!
