Steps
  1. Instructions
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together egg yolks and sugar.
  3. Once the mixture has turned a lighter shade of yellow, add vegetable oil and continue beating to incorporate.
  4. Add vanilla extract (or banana essence if you wish), followed by mashed bananas. Mix to blend.
  5. Fold in the dry ingredients (flour + salt + baking soda).
  6. Scrape the bowl with a spatula and give the batter a final mix. Set this aside.
  7. In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and continue whisking.
  8. Once soft peaks form, add the sugar gradually and whisk until stiff peaks form.
  9. Transfer ⅓ of the meringue into the egg yolk batter. Beat it in. This stabilizes the mixture.
  10. Gently fold the remaining meringue into the batter until no white streaks remain.
  11. Pour the batter into an UNGREASED tube pan. Lift the pan about 10 cm off the table top and drop it onto the tabletop to remove any trapped air bubbles. Repeat twice more.
  12. Bake at 160°C for the required time. If the top gets too brown, cover with a piece of aluminium foil. Alternatively, you can lower the temperature of the oven.
  13. Once the done is done, invert it immediately and cool on a wire rack. Do not unmold the cake until it has cooled completely.
