BANANA LIME CAKE



Banana Lime Cake image

Bananas and lime work well together in general evoking tropical flavors. This cake is actually from the UK, from a volume given to me in a cookbook swap. After GEMA's disappointing review, I made this myself and made some minor changes (namely reducing the flour by two tablespoons and adding a tablespoon of yogurt) and clarifying the directions according to preparation in my own kitchen. I found the cake to be a lovely snacking cake perfect as a midday sweet or informal dessert. As a low-fat chef, I was pleased to find the cake had a natural moistness drawn from the bananas, yogurt and raisins.

Time 55m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 7/8 cups all-purpose flour (2 cups less 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup light brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons lime zest, finely grated
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 large banana, mashed (should measure 1/2 cup)
3/4 cup nonfat yogurt (use banana or vanilla yogurt if you don't have plain)
2/3 cup golden raisin
2/3 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 -3 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon lime zest, finely grated
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F/180C degrees.
  • Apply a light coating of cooking spray to the sides of an eight inch round baking pan and place a cut parchment sheet on the bottom.
  • Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder together into a large bowl. Mix in the lime zest and brown sugar. Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  • Mash the banana mixing with the lime juice to reduce browning. Pour the banana, lightly beaten egg, and yogurt into the dry ingredients until they are mix. Fold in the golden raisins. Pour using spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan smoothing the surface to even.
  • Bake 40 minutes, testing so that a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean. Note that low-fat cakes suffer more when over-baked, then their conventional higher fat counterparts. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Once the cake is cool, center on serving plate.
  • To prepare icing, sift sugar into a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Add lime juice one teaspoon at a time until you arrive at your desired consistency for drizzling. Stir in the lime zest. Drizzle on cake as you wish, either randomly or in a pattern.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be. If you don't have any ripe bananas on hand, you can ripen them quickly by placing them in a paper bag with an apple.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Together: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your cake light and fluffy.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use Fresh Coconut: Fresh coconut will give your cake a more intense flavor than dried coconut.
  • Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that your cake is cooked through.

Conclusion:

This banana, lime, and coconut cake is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture, tangy lime flavor, and sweet coconut topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
