How to choose good ingredients
How to choose good bananas
- It is advisable to choose a bunch of bananas that are not uniformly ripe (some are yellow, some are green) and have dark or deep pink spots.
- Avoid choosing bananas that are uniformly ripe with a deep yellow skin.
- Naturally ripened bananas will have a yellow stem and body. If the stem is green but the fruit is uniformly yellow, it has definitely been treated with chemicals.
- Tree-ripened bananas will have a fragrant smell and a naturally sweet, soft texture. In contrast, chemically treated bananas will feel slightly fibrous, hard, with astringent and sour taste.
How to choose and prepare cassava
- It is best to choose hill cassava, as it is very fluffy and fragrant when eaten.
- Prioritize choosing fresh, plump, straight roots with a thin skin to have less fiber, softness, and sweetness.
- Gently scrape the thin outer skin of the cassava with your fingernail; if the inner skin is light pink, choose it, if white, it is better to skip it, as the pink skin has fewer toxins than the white skin.
- Additionally, do not leave cassava for too long as it will become hard and dry and lose its deliciousness.
- Cassava contains toxins, so it is best to prepare it one day in advance when making cakes!
Tools needed
How to Make Grilled Banana Corn Cake
-
Marinate the bananas with sugar
First, peel the bananas and place them in a pot along with 200g of sugar and 2 teaspoons of white wine.
Next, mix well so that the bananas absorb the sugar evenly and marinate for about 1 hour for the sugar to completely dissolve.
-
Caramelize the bananas
Place the pot of bananas on the stove and boil over high heat until the sugar starts to boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook the bananas, opening the lid every 5 minutes to turn the bananas over.
When you see that the syrup in the pot is gradually reducing, open the lid and continuously turn the bananas until all sides turn slightly pink.
Finally, take the bananas out onto a plate, let them cool completely, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for about 1 day.

Blend the cassava
Soak the cassava in water for 2 – 3 hours, then peel and rinse thoroughly. Next, grate the cassava into a basin of water, soak for 10 minutes, then rinse again and drain.
Next, blend the cassava with a little water. Then, squeeze the cassava juice into a bowl and let it sit for about 30 minutes for the cassava starch to settle at the bottom. The leftover cassava pulp after squeezing should be placed in a separate bowl.
Next, pour off the top layer of water to obtain the cassava starch.
-
Mix the cake batter
Next, add to the bowl with cassava: the cassava starch, 80g sugar, a little salt, 100ml condensed milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 100g tapioca flour, then mix well.
After that, pour in 350ml of coconut milk and 30ml of cooking oil into the batter and mix thoroughly once again.
-
Pour into molds and bake
Preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 – 15 minutes to stabilize the temperature.
Next, prepare a round mold lined with parchment paper, then pour in 1/2 of the mixed dough and spread it evenly.
Then, place the sautéed bananas on top and pour the remaining dough over. Put the cake in the oven and bake for 60 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
