Ingredients
Method
- Prepare steamer and bring water to a boil. Wrap the steamer lid with a cloth to prevent water droplets from dripping onto the cake.
- Grease a round or square heatproof pan and line the bottom with parchment paper if desired.
- In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk oil and sugar until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time and mix well.
- Stir in mashed bananas until smooth.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Top with banana slices and sprinkle Biscoff crumbs.
- Steam over medium heat for 35–45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from steamer and let cool before slicing.
Notes
- Make sure water is boiling before placing the cake inside.
- Do not open the lid too often while steaming.
- If using smaller pans, reduce steaming time.
- Best served slightly warm.
