Ingredients
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- 2 ripe plantains
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ tablespoon ground cardamom
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
- In a large bowl, sift the flour, add the bicarb of soda and mix well.
- In a jug, crack the eggs and use a fork to beat really well.
- Pour in the coconut milk and oil, and give the mixture a good stir.
- Peel and chop the plantains and add them to a blender.
- Blitz until you get a smooth paste.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, add the mashed plantains and cardamom, and mix.
- Grease and flour a loaf tin - mine is 20 x11x6 cm, and spread the batter evenly.
- Bake for 35 minutes until the top is golden and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Notes
- Bake the cake in the middle of the oven rather than the top rack to avoid the loaf browning too quickly while the middle is still raw.
- Alternatively, you can use a kitchen foil to loosely cover the tin towards the end of the baking time.
- You can use use a combo of plantain and banana for this bread - do make sure both are really ripe, the blacker the skin of the fruit, the better the taste.
