                       1 piece of banana chiffon cake, more pieces to GO ! =D

Do you know about the health benefit of every food that we are eating? Perhaps most of the time we just take the food without knowing the good benefits it will bring for our health. Sometimes we might just skip the food because we do not like that food.

Here I would like to introduce some good health benefits of bananas.
1. Reduce depression
2. Regulate the bowel system
3. Reduce blood pressure & risk of heart disease
4. Help our bones grow stronger
5. Help individuals to quit smoking
6. Help prevent anemia
7. Provide us with energy
8. Reduce menstrual pains
9. Power our brains
10. Help prevent ulcers

~ BANANA CHIFFON CAKE ~

6 egg whites

100g sugar

1 tsp lemon juice 

Here you GO !  *** Blink ***

Methods:

1. Sift the self raising flour. Set aside. 

* usually I skip this step. * LOL but today i did it ! =P

2. In a Bowl, mash the ripen banana. 

 

3. In a Bowl, beat the egg yolks lightly, add in vegetable oil and salt and whisked till well combined. Add in the mashed banana into egg yolk mixture, mix until it's well blended. Using the same whisk, add the sifted flour until it becomes well combined.

4. In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites using medium speed till frothy then add in lemon juice. Continue to beat till soft peak, gradually add in the sugar and continue to beat until stiff peak.

5. Add the meringue into the egg yolk batter 1/3 at a time, each time gentle mixed before adding next. When done, pour the batter into the Chiffon pan. 

6. Bake in a pre-heated oven on the lowest rack at 180 degree Celcius top/bottom heat for 35min.

6. Remove from oven, immediately invert the cake until completely cool.

DONE ! =)

Nevertheless, the texture was still soft and cottony. When I asked my mother whether she liked it, she commented "好吃, 不过我还是比较喜欢香草口味的." (loosely translated, nice but i still prefer pandan flavoured chiffon cake). *she used to love pandan flavoured cakes alot*
