Chefs de Tahiti Tips
The best bananas for this cake are Hamoa bananas, which flavour the cake really well. Take them when they are ripe, even if the bananas are black, you can still use them! For this recipe, we used 6 small ones, but it always depends on their size.
To control the cooking process, prick the cake with the blade of a knife. If it comes out clean, it’s ready! If not, cook for a further 5 minutes.
