Recipe's preparation

    Method
  1. 1)   Preheat the oven to 175oC and grease your preferred pans (I like little bread pans).

    2)   If you need to ground your spices, do that now. Then put them aside.

    3)   Break your bananas into 3-4cm lengths and put into a microwave safe container. Cook on high for 3 minutes or so until the bananas are visibly mushy (your kitchen should smell very banana-ry right about now).

    4)   Put the steaming basket into the TMX. Put the cooked bananas in the steaming basket. Using a silicone spatula or fork, mash the bananas so that the smelly juice strains into the TMX bowl. When you've got most of the juice out of the bananas, put the banana pulp back into your microwaveable container and set it aside.

    5)   You should now have banana juice in the bottom of your TMX bowl. Cook the juice for 3min/VaromaTemp/Speed1.5 or until the juice has reduced by about half.

    6)   Put the bananas back into the TMX bowl and add all of the other ingredients.

    7)   Wizz all the ingredients for 15-20seconds/Speed5

    Cool   Pour into your chosen pans and cook for 20-30 minutes (a large loaf may need 35 minutes, small muffins may need 20).

    9)   Allow to cool if you can wait that long!

Tip

I've called it a sophisticated cake because, it is a little bit more than just a cake...Could be used as a cake to serve for tea or a cake for dessert. Or a cake for any time of day. You decide. Oh and I must mention that the smell of the cardamom makes the house smell just divine!

Inspiration for this recipe is from the Kitchen Heals Soul blog (I was inspired by their styling too). I've tweaked it quite a bit and made it super simple using the TMX.

    Delicious! I was short for time so skipped the microwaving and just blended the wet ingredients and then added the dry ingredients. Two loaf tins took 30 mins to cook on 180 C
